Equatorial Guinea’s culture is a unique blend of African, Spanish, and Portuguese influences. The Abira, a traditional dance performed during significant events, showcases the country’s rhythmic heritage. Equatoguinean cuisine features dishes like succotash and pepesup, reflecting both local ingredients and colonial influences. The balele, a traditional wooden xylophone, plays a central role in musical performances. Mask-making and wood carving are important artistic traditions, often depicting ancestral spirits or animals. The Fang people’s byeri ancestor cult, with its reliquary figures, represents a significant aspect of traditional spiritual beliefs, although it’s less common today.
