Last Places have designed this trip to northern Nigeria<\/a><\/strong> with the aim of getting to know the Hausa people<\/strong><\/a>‘s culture. To achieve it, we will visit the emirates of Kano, Zaria and Dutse<\/strong>, where we can admire old Hausa-style adobe palaces<\/strong> as well as meet members of royalty. During this time of year, Durbar Festival<\/strong><\/a> parades are usually held in the emirates, so we will try to attend the ones in Kano and Zaria. Also, we will meet the Zul tribe<\/strong>, enjoy the spectacle of a clan of ‘hyena men<\/strong>‘ and witness a Sharo Festival<\/strong> of a Fulani community.<\/p>\n

\"map<\/p>\n

\u25ba We will discover the culture of the Hausa people<\/h3>\n

During this trip to northern Nigeria, we will visit the Kano, Zaria and Dutse emirates to immerse ourselves in the culture of the Hausa people.<\/p>\n

Durbar Festival<\/h4>\n

The Durbar Festival<\/strong> is a cultural, religious and equestrian celebration held annually, usually coinciding with major Muslim festivities. It was born as military parades in the 14th century. During the celebration of the Durbar Festival, each noble house parades before the Emir, acting as a regiment, to demonstrate their loyalty to him as well as displaying that they are ready to defend him in the event of war.<\/p>\n

Hausa architecture<\/h4>\n

The Hausa architecture<\/strong> stands out for its adaptation to the dry and hot ecosystem, since its thick walls keep the interior cooler and more insulated. Hausa buildings are full of colorful motifs and decorations. The complexity of the decoration of the facades usually demonstrates the wealth and social position of the owner.<\/p>\n

Dambe boxing<\/h4>\n

Dambe boxing<\/strong> is a traditional martial art of the Hausa people. During the fight, the competitors try to subdue the opponent until one of them achieves total submission, mainly in three rounds.<\/p>\n

\u25ba Meeting with the Zul tribe<\/h3>\n

We will visit a town of the Zul tribe<\/strong>. This animist ethnic group has unique traditions, such as facial tattoos (only seen in older generations) and a particular mirror dance.<\/p>\n

\u25ba We will attend a ‘hyena men’ show<\/h3>\n

On this trip to northern Nigeria, we will have the opportunity to witness the show of a clan of ‘hyena men<\/strong>‘. This is a cast of masters in the technique of taming wild animals, which is used to entertain at special celebrations and to recover the custom of magic in rural areas.<\/p>\n

\u25ba We will witness a Fulani Sharo Festival<\/h3>\n

In the Fulani community of Kantoga, we will be able to witness a Sharo Festival<\/strong>. During this event, young men hit each other with sticks to demonstrate their bravery and strength.<\/p>\n
