Traditional tribes in Burkina
The Lobi is an ethnic group, originally from Ghana, living in the south of Burkina Faso. The name Lobi means 'children of the forest'. The Lobi lead a very traditional and animistic life, a belief that assumes that all beings and things have a soul. The Mounhoun River plays an important role in the various myths of Burkina Faso and symbolizes the dividing line between this world and the next. On the banks of this river, the Lobi still perform these rituals. .
