SUJET: GBéHANZIN Roi du Dahomey d'Afrique. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ce documentaire retrace la vie, le pèlerinage et Mythe de la Personnalité qui perdure encore avec ses mystères, de ce Prince devenu un des Rois les plus puissants et les plus redoutables de l'Afrique. Assuré de figurer au Panthéon des Héros et Personnages de légende qui sera créé dans un jour futur prochain, le ROI GBéHANZIN fût un résistant farouche à la colonisation de l'Afrique pour la sauvegarde de l'Empire du DAHOMEY et son Continent mère : L'AFRIQUE. Malgré son armée moins importante en rapport que celle des français, il défendit la terre de ses aïeux contre un esprit colonial mondial d'occupation, dont face à lui celui des colons français, suite au partage du Continent noir par des puissances, appâtées par le profit et le gain, sujet toujours d'actualité. C'est un court récit bien construit et passionnant de l'Histoire d'un Roi et ses exploits, qui est raconté ici pour transmettre au Monde et générations futures, la bravoure de ce héros pan-africaniste. C'est ainsi que le Roi GBéHANZIN, de son nom premier Hokonou, s'il n'était pas voué à prendre le trône de par la prévision de lignée et Tradition, y accède du fait d'être incontournable, par sa sagesse et bravoure. Il représente non seulement un Symbole, une Icône, une Légende, mais aussi et surtout un exemple à avoir en conscience et suivre par les jeunes, pour repousser autant l'assaut colonial politique et économique dont l'Afrique continue d'être encore victime de nos jours aussi de cette manière déguisée. Ceci peut-être appliqué autant avant tout à ces mêmes puissances, que les acteurs partenaires internes, achetés ou emprunts du seul intérêt personnel de gain, au dépend du meilleur être dans la vie des peuples, qui perdurent à souffrir des difficultés d'un autre temps, quand ce n'est malheureusement la torture et la mort, évitables.

In Dahomey: Cakewalk Smasher

Updated: 17 Jul 2015

In Dahomey: Cakewalk Smasher Written by Percy Aldridge Grainger (1882-1961) Arranged by Musician 1st Class David J. Miller In 1903, Grainger attended an off-Broadway performance of Will Marion Cook’s “In Dahomey,” and was impressed with the cakewalk dancing of the two lead characters, George Walker and Bert Williams. It should be noted that this musical of Cook’s was the first Broadway production ever to be written by a black composer. Grainger took a theme from Cook’s musical, and began improvising a cakewalk of his own during his piano recitals. As Grainger’s piece evolved, he added a melody from a foxtrot of Arthur Pryor’s. In 1909, Grainger decided to finally write down a concert version of his improvised piece. He titled it “In Dahomey: Cakewalk Smasher.” However, by this time, the cakewalk style was no longer as popular as it had been a few years earlier. Grainger put the piece aside, and his manuscript lay in a drawer for 78 years. It was rediscovered in 1987, and was published for the first time that year. The Navy Band premiered this new transcription at the 2014 Midwest Clinic conducted by Capt. Brian Walden.

Benin Travel Video - If youre heading to West Africa to unearth lost treasure, look no further than Benin. This club-shaped country, on the western edge of Nigeria, was once one of the most powerful empires in Africa -- the Dahomey kingdom. The ruins of the Dahomeyans palaces and temples can be seen in Abomey, while Ouidah is a poignant reminder of where their riches came from: the slave trade. The Route dEsclaves in Ouidah was the last walk on African soil for slaves bound for Brazil and the Caribbean. Museums here and in Porto Novo, Benins lagoon-side capital, examine the resultant Afro-Brazilian society and culture. Cotonou, on the other hand, is urban Africa at its most frazzling and polluted - but is not without its own charms, a lively nightlife and good shopping being a couple of them. Regardless of the ill-gotten Dahomeyan gains glittering in the Musée Historique dAbomey, there are plenty of treasures on Benins dusty streets and palm-fringed beaches. This is the birthplace of voodoo, the countrys national religion, exported by the slaves and distorted by Hollywood. Voodoo is an important part of everyday life and most towns bear signs of it, such as the fetish markets stocked with the heads and skins of every animal imaginable. Elephants, lions and crocodiles can be seen in more animated form in the northern wildlife parks, notably Pendjari, one of the best in West Africa. Then there are the stilt villages, home to thousands in the southern lagoons, and the northern tata somba (fortlike mud huts) built by the insular Somba people. Not only is Benin a richly historical and cultural country, this politically stable nation is one of the easiest parts of West Africa to travel in. Enjoy Your Benin Travel Video

Where will the pope travel to next Benin's

Updated: 26 Sep 2011

September 26, 2011. (Romereports.com) Even though the pope just got back from his four day trip to Germany, his eyes are already set on his next international trip to Africa. From November 18th to the 20th, the pope will visit the country of Benin to meet with African bishops. Two years ago, their Synod took place. So, during his visit, the pope plans to deliver the post Synodal exhortation to the group, which it use as a guide in the coming years. During his visit, the pope will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Benin's evangelization. He will also honor the life and work of local cardinal Bernardin Gantin, who served as the Dean of the College of Cardinals for much of John Paul II's pontificate. Benin (formerly, Dahomey), officially the Republic of Benin, is a country in West Africa. It borders Togo to the west, Nigeria to the east and Burkina Faso and Niger to the north. Its small southern coastline on the Bight of Benin is where a majority of the population is located. The capital of Benin is Porto-Novo, but the seat of government is located in the country's largest city of Cotonou. Benin covers an area of approximately 110,000 square kilometers (42,000 sq mi), with a population of approximately 9.05 million. Benin is a tropical, sub-Saharan nation, highly dependent on agriculture, with substantial employment and income arising from subsistence farming. The official language of Benin is French, however, indigenous languages such as Fon and Yoruba are commonly spoken. The largest religious group in Benin is Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Muslims, Vodun, and Protestants. Benin is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie, the Community of Sahel-Saharan States, the African Petroleum Producers Association and the Niger Basin Authority. From the 17th century to the 19th century, the land of current-day Benin was ruled by the Kingdom of Dahomey. The region became known as the Slave Coast during the early 17th century due to the prevalence of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In 1892, with the slave trade banned and regional power diminishing, France took over the area and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey gained full independence from France, bringing in a democratic government for the next 12 years. Between 1972 and 1990, a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist dictatorship called the People's Republic of Benin existed, ushering in a period of repression which ultimately led to an economic collapse. Formation of the Republic of Benin occurred in 1991, bringing in multiparty elections.

Entry from: Ganvie, Benin Entry Title: "Ganvie Village, Benin, December 14, 2007" Entry: "As the largest stilt-village in Africa and home to about 30,000 Tofinu tribe members, all of whom live in dwellings built about two meters above Lake Nokoue, Ganvie is one of Benin's leading tourist magnets. The tribe allegedly came to this fishing-based lifestyle on the lake in the 1600s when the people fled there to escape the slave-hunting Dahomey tribe whose religious customs banned them from venturing into the water. For us Ganvie was a short drive north from Cotonou and a stop for several hours for a pirogue ride from shore to the stilt village, a boat trip on which we saw plenty of fishermen and hundreds of small boats carrying people back and forth between the village and the mainland, most human-powered. The term "stilt village" conjured up certain images in my mind from previous travels, specifically those of a stilt village I visited in Phan Nga Bay in Thailand in 1996, images that naively led me to ask Dave before we got to Ganvie, "Will we have a chance to get out and walk around in the stilt village?" I soon discovered the answer was "No". Whereas in Thailand I visited a very large densely-populated village where homes and businesses were all connected above the water by virtual wooden streets, in Ganvie the individual houses were widely separated, no more than a few dwellings per cluster, and boats the only means of transport between the clusters. We made a few stops at shops where healthy doses of tourist tack were made available for our shopping convenience, but this being West Africa even the most touristy of sights was far from overrun by commercialism, making for a very pleasant afternoon excursion."

A la Découverte de Saint Louis du sénégal

Order: Reorder
Duration: 4:36
Updated: 17 Sep 2014

Située aux confins de l'Océan, du Sahara et de la brousse, Saint-Louis fut toujours la meilleure introduction à la découverte de l'Afrique. Célèbre étape d'abord des navires européens de la Traite, puis de l'aéropostale de Mermoz, l'île conserve d'importants témoignages de son prestigieux passé. Elle est encore aujourd'hui, la ville symbole de l'élégance et du raffinement au Sénégal. Car Saint-Louis du Sénégal a un passé exceptionnel qui lui confère une renommée internationale. Plus ancienne ville construite par les français en Afrique de l'Ouest, l'Histoire de Saint-Louis se confond avec celle de la colonisation. Considérée comme la vitrine de la France en Afrique, elle fut érigée commune française de plein exercice et jouissait ainsi d'un statut particulier. A partir de 1916, les Saint-Louisiens étaient alors français à part entière (ainsi que les habitants de Gorée, Dakar et Rufisque). Pour sa possession, les anglais et les français ont bataillé ferme mais c'est au final la France qui en conserva le contrôle le plus longtemps jusqu'à l'indépendance du pays. Le nom de l'île Saint-Louis a été donné en l'honneur du Roi de France et elle est appelée Ndar par les sénégalais (en wolof). Saint-Louis fut la capitale du Sénégal mais aussi de 'Afrique Occidentale Française autrement dit une région de 4_689_000 km² comprenant la Mauritanie, le Sénégal, le Soudan français (devenu Mali), la Guinée, la Côte d'Ivoire, le Niger, la Haute-Volta (devenue Burkina Faso) et le Dahomey (devenu Bénin).
