Background About This Event & Cause



To address what was happening to my people, I started Bantu International in 2003.  My goal involved raising awareness and promoting African culture with a specialized focus on the Baka Tribe of Cameroon.  For several years, Bantu International has exposed the New England area to aspects of African culture through workshops, lectures, and presentations.  Many efforts also included establishing partnerships with a number of community groups and schools.


In 2009, the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation was interested in supporting International efforts to preserve culture.  Cameroon was one of nine international sites selected to record dance rituals and games of the isolated Baka using film.  Documentation of a culture's expressions can save them from extinction by creating an enduring record of key pieces of the culture while instantly bridging Younger generations to their ancestral roots.  I received funding support from the U.S. Ambassadors Fund to document the loss of culture that the Baka faced.  During the filming in Cameroon, I discovered additional challenges that my tribe faced in attempting to save their land.  This event is a part of my continued effort and goal to save the traditions and culture of my people-the Baka Tribe.

This benefit is an effort to help save land and culture of the Baka Pygmy in Salapoumbe, Cameroon, which is being destroyed by deforestation and modernity.  This cause is dear to me because I am originally from the eastern region of Cameroon and I am seeking to help preserve my culture.  I hope you will join me in this cause!
