Fon Gbe

The Fon people are the largest ethnic group in Benin and the keepers of the Vodun tradition that the world knows as Voodoo. Their language, their proverbs, their music, and their spiritual practice form the backbone of Beninese identity. Today honors the Fon, not as a separate tradition, but as the thread that runs through everything Benin is.
