Regional/Cultural Day

Día del Moungali

El barrio donde la influencia de África Occidental se encuentra con la vida congueña. Moungali tiene su propio ritmo, sus propios mercados, sus propios sabores. Las mujeres de Benín, Togo y Senegal llevan aquí generaciones, y su cocina se ha convertido en cocina congueña, sus telas se han convertido en telas congueñas, y su música ha encontrado un hogar en los altavoces congueños. Moungali demuestra que Brazzaville siempre ha sido una encrucijada.
