The Bafut Mandeleh Festival - Bafut Manjong Douala branch Edition yesterday 27/07/2025 🎉💃🥳
✨️ The arrival of bands of food stuff and drinks to celebrate the end of the hunger season 👏🏻
In June every year, Bafut celebrates Mandeleh, a festival where the people of Bafut reconnect with their land, food and ancestry. This celebration marks the beginning of harvest and the end of the hunger period (a time where the local population experience seasonal food shortages).
This festival is characterised by a cultural dance and song referred to as the Mandeleh dance and is usually accompanied by flutes and traditional drums🪘 🪘

The "Mandeleh" dance is reserved for the Royal family, showcasing the rich history and traditions of the Bafut people, particularly their royal lineage and power structures; it's a time for community gathering, displaying intricate costumes, and celebrating their cultural heritage 💪🏼
It is said that the second Fon of Bafut, Mfor Nebasisu, was given the sounds and song of the Mandeleh dance by ancestral spirits that took the form of birds.
The Mandeleh Festival celebration by the Bafut Manjong Douala branch was a resounding success 🌟 A beautiful display of unity, tradition, and cultural pride
Our Culture our heritage 👌🏻
Bafut to the World 🌎 🙌🏽

After processing in with the food and drinks, they were then shared out to everyone according to the different quarters and villages present.
This allowed all attendees to eat and drink together before the commencement of the Mandeleh Dance 💃 🥳
The Grassfield culture from the Northwest region of Cameroon shines so bright 🌞
