Ngoma Nlô
In ancient times, when the roads were made of red earth and the trees whispered secrets to the wind, there lived a sacred drum called Ngoma Nlô, the Talking Drum. It was no ordinary drum: carved from iroko wood and adorned with ancestral symbols, it had the power to carry messages between distant villages. Its sound was not just music, but language: each beat was a word, each rhythm an emotion.
The elders guarded it in the village of Ebong, and when a community needed help, advice, or a celebration, the drum spoke. Its echo crossed mountains, rivers, and jungles, carrying news, warnings, and blessings. It was the soul of communication, the spiritual heartbeat that united the people.

But one moonless night, a greedy stranger stole the drum. He took it far away, intending to sell it as mere art. At dawn, the villages awoke in silence. There were no songs, no answers. The mothers wept, the elders gathered, but without the drum, their words reached no one. The connection was broken.

For years, the communities lived in isolation, distrustful of one another. Traditions began to fade, like smoke in the wind. Until a boy named M'Boma, born in silence, dreamed of the drum. In his dream, the spirits showed him the way to where it was hidden.
Guided by the rhythm of his heart, M'Boma embarked on a journey through jungles and savannas. He found the drum in a forgotten cave, covered in dust but untouched. When he played it, the drum spoke again. Its voice awakened the ancestors, and its echo reunited the villages.

Now, each generation learns to read the rhythms of the drum. Not only to communicate, but to remember that tradition, like sound, lives on as long as it is shared. And that when the common voice is lost, the soul of the people is lost.

Story
Loufoukieto – The Warrior Who Defeated the Giant
In ancient times, when drums spoke to the spirits and trees whispered secrets to the wind, the people of M'Banza lived under the shadow of fear. From the northern mountains descended Foutouka, a giant with skin like burnt bark and eyes that glowed like embers. Every new moon, his step shook the earth, and his voice drowned out the children's songs.
Foutouka wasn't just strength: he was arrogance, he was hunger. He stole crops, destroyed huts, and demanded blood tribute. No one could face him. Until Loufoukieto, a young hunter with a serene gaze and an indomitable heart, rose up.
He wasn't the strongest, nor the tallest. But Loufoukieto knew the ways of the forest, the signs of the sky, and the stories the elders told by the fire. With his nkula wood spear and a necklace of leopard teeth, he entered the mountain where the giant slept.
For three days and three nights, Loufoukieto studied Foutouka. He observed how he moved, how he slept, how he raged. And then, he hatched his plan.
When the giant awoke, Loufoukieto challenged him with words, not weapons. He told him of a treasure hidden in the jungle, of a power greater than his own. Foutouka, vain, followed the warrior. But Loufoukieto led him to the Cave of Echoes, where the sounds multiplied and confused. There, the giant became lost in his own fury, striking shadows and screaming.
Loufoukieto cunningly made rocks fall on the entrance. The giant was trapped, roaring until his voice became the wind.
Since that day, the people of M'Banza sing his name in ceremonies. Loufoukieto not only defeated the giant: he defeated fear. His story is told in drums, in dances, in tattoos on the skin of warriors.
