The Mankon Asamba Dance is one of the most beautiful expressions of our culture.

It is more than a dance. It is a celebration of who we are.

When the drums begin to play and the dancers move in unison, you are witnessing generations of history, pride and tradition coming to life. Every movement tells a story. Every beat of the drum reminds us that our heritage is still alive.

One of the things I love most about Asamba is how it brings everyone together. The elders see the traditions they grew up with. The younger generation discovers the beauty of their roots. In those moments, culture is no longer something we talk about. It becomes something we experience together.

No matter where Mankon people find themselves in the world, the sound of the drums has a way of bringing us home. It reminds us that our identity is not defined by where we live, but by the values, traditions and history we continue to carry with us.

Asamba is more than music.

It is pride.

It is unity.

It is the heartbeat of the Mankon people.

May the drums never fall silent, and may every generation continue to dance the story of Mankon with the same joy, dignity and pride.

If happiness had a dance floor…
This would be it. 😄

Nothing fancy, just beautiful people celebrating culture, friendship and the simple joy of being together.

These are the moments that make MACUDA special. ❤️

If you missed the Born House Planti at the MACUDA2026 BBQ Cookout, I don’t know what to tell you except… my condolences. 😂

By the time some people found the pot, all that was left was the aroma and a few people licking their fingers with absolutely no shame.

Now that’s how you know a meal was successful.

Born House Planti is not just food. It is one of those rare delicacies that can silence a crowd. Conversations become shorter, smiles become wider, and suddenly everyone remembers they need “just one more spoon.”

The magic begins long before the first bite.

Fresh green plantains slowly simmer in rich red palm oil, soaking up the deep flavors of smoked fish, tender meat, crayfish, bitterleaf and fragrant village spices. As the pot is gently turned, every ingredient slowly surrenders itself to the next until the entire meal becomes one rich, creamy masterpiece. Then comes that unmistakable aroma… the kind that travels farther than an invitation and has people asking, “Who di cook?”

Every spoonful tastes like home.

Every bite carries the warmth of a Cameroonian kitchen, the laughter of family gatherings and the memories of celebrations that have brought our people together for generations.

That is the beauty of Born House Planti.

It feeds more than the stomach.

It feeds the soul.

At our MACUDA BBQ Cookout, this beloved delicacy reminded us that culture is not preserved only through language, traditional dances or our beautiful Atoghu. Sometimes, culture is preserved around a pot, shared on a plate and celebrated one delicious mouthful at a time.

To everyone who prepared this incredible meal, thank you for serving us more than food.

You served us a taste of home.

And judging by the empty pots… I think it’s safe to say the Born House Planti won the day! 🇨🇲🔥🍲
