    Thanks for the video. This was during the one month celebration of the life of my late father, the then King of BAFANJI, FON NGWEFUNI II. This day was the turn of Bamessing and Mankon who came to pay tribute to the late King. I am the successor, present King Of Bafanji. This was in March 2012.

      May he Rest In Peace.More Grace to you as hos successor.1)But why have a month continous of celebration is that according to traditions or family choice?? 2)Also can any one do a one month celebration or only a late king?? Everyday in that one month is there a bee ritual to be done or the same dances in the video everyday continous for one month??? Just Try to learn African culture… thanks

    I attended the Death Celebration of my father-in-law papa Vincent B. Gwanmesia in the Gwanmesia compound in Bali in 1986 and did shoot a 'dane-gun' as well. A very emotional experience.

    Africans never fear death. In many cases it was an honorable events to transition and be part of ancestors family. Especially, when the person stand for societal causes.

      The Word bamileke is a foreign word, but we are with North west + a part of south west the same people. the other parth of ower people live in Nigeria , because of the colonial German division. Dschang is in West and Fontem is in South West , but they speak the same language.
