A place with cultural diversity

It may be said that Togo is a sort of cultural mash-up. The nation has been dubbed "Miniature Africa" because of the large number of diverse African nations that reside there. There is also a sizable Lebanese population, as well as some Europeans, because of the nation's history as a French colony and because French is the official language. Togo's population is made up of numerous Christians, many Muslims, and at least half who practice Voodoo and Animism. It truly is an interesting site to visit because of the mixture of cultures there.

The Ewe, Mina, and Kabye are the three largest and most influential of Togo's 37 tribal ethnic groups, and their impacts may be seen in the country's culture. Togo's official language is French; however, a variety of native African languages are also used there. More than half of Togo's population adheres to traditional animistic practices and beliefs, despite the influence of Western religion. Famous statuettes that depict the adoration of the twins, the ibéji, are what define Ewe statuary. Instead of the more common African masks, sculptures and hunting trophies were employed. The "chains of marriage," which include two characters joined by rings carved from a single piece of wood, are a specialty of Kloto's woodcarvers.
