Acholi Dance Festival

About two weeks ago, I was invited by a friend who works for Gulu Public Primary to witness an Acholi cultural dance festival & … It was absolutely AMAZING! There were about 6-7 groups who performed almost a dozen dances with traditional costumes and instruments.

Dances included:
The Raka-Raka (for Courtship)
The Bwola (for Peace) &
The Otole (Warrior Dance- which was performed solely by elderly Women)

The festival was sponsored by The Watoto Church, Gulu Theatre Artist Company and the War Affected Youth Association.

I left with my heart full !!! Again, I will let the pictures speak for themselves
