Bwa People
The Bwa People are an ethnic group primarily located in the western region of Burkina Faso and parts of Mali. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes unique traditions, languages, and art forms. The Bwa speak the Bwa language, which belongs to the larger Mande language family.
One of the most notable aspects of Bwa culture is their traditional masks, used in various ceremonies and festivals.
