   Extractions: Central African Republic You're likely to hear modern African music on the radio, most of which comes from the two Congos. Some of its exponents have become world famous, and while traditional African music influenced the music of the USA, the Caribbean and Latin America, modern African music has in turn been influenced by jazz, rock and Latin rhythms. Traditional African music is not generally particularly accessible to the Western ear, and although it's full of complex rhythms and harmonies, it is not melodic and may sound as if very little is going on. The log xylophone is one of the most common instruments, and it consists of two long banana tree trunks supporting about five logs that are struck with sticks. The tiny sanza or thumb piano consists of a soundbox of wood with bamboo or metal keys played with the thumbs. If you encounter any pygmies you will probably hear some of their music, because they accompany all of their daily activities with music. Africans generally place great emphasis on clothing, and a trip to the CAR is a treat to see the quality of people's dress. Women often wear a loose top and a length of cloth

   Extractions: Central African Republic If you want to get away from the Africa of souvenir sellers and slick willy tour operators, the Central African Republic (CAR) may be the place for you. It has pristine forests and lively cities - but also a lawless countryside and crumbling roads. If you can manage to get to it, the CAR's national park is one of Africa's best. Pygmies guide you through forest that's home to elephants and rare lowland gorillas. Dense rainforests explode in riots of colourful butterflies, and out on the plains you can spot elephants, lions, leopards and rhinos. The towns and cities have bustling markets, palm and banana wine for sale by the side of the roads, green hills and giraffes close by, and beer halls to do a Bavarian proud. Unfortunately, muggings, petty theft and police extortion are commonplace. The security situation in the CAR has deteriorated in recent years, and sporadic fighting has been reported throughout the country, including the capital, Bangui. Security is unstable throughout the country, and events are subject to rapid change. Foreigners are favourite targets for armed gangs. Full country name: Central African Republic Area: 622,980 sq km

   Extractions: Central African Republic - Culture Overview The Central African Republic has rarely benefited from its central location, since its population suffered the incursions of slave traders not only from the west, but also from the north and east, until well into the 20th century. Matters were complicated by the forced labor demands of French colonialism beginning in the 19th century. The political fortunes of Central Africans since independence have been scarred by the 13-year-rule of Jean Bedel Bokassa, one of Africa's most unsavory dictators. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the cultural heritage most valued by Central Africans is tied to the traditions upheld in the rural villages. The relative absence of ethnic rivalries makes possible the widespread understanding and sharing of these traditions. Some of the country's most inspiring landmarks are the megalithic statues that stand outside the town of Bouar. Carved by prehistoric populations about whom little is known, these granite sculptures are huge, and must have required significant social cooperation to put in place. In Bangui, the Boganda Museum has a large collection of local musical instruments, but it is also an interesting two-story building that once served as the presidential palace. Bokassa's Residence has been organized as a public reminder of the former dictator. The place has been stripped of all valuable goods, but retains mementos of the dictator's gruesome tastes, including, for example, the lion cages in the yard.

    Extractions: Central African Republic Introduction Back to Top Central African Republic (CAR), landlocked republic in central Africa, bordered on the north by Chad, on the east by Sudan, on the south by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, and on the west by Cameroon. A former French colony, which became independent on August 31, 1960, the CAR was known as the Central African Empire from 1976 to 1979 under the autocratic rule of the self-styled emperor Jean Bédel Bokassa. The CAR has an area of 622,984 sq km (240,535 sq mi). Bangui is the capital. Official Name -Central African Republic 14 prefectures (prefectures, singular - prefecture), 2 economic prefectures* (prefectures economiques, singular - prefecture economique), and 1 commune**; Bamingui-Bangoran, Bangui**, Basse-Kotto, Gribingui*, Haute-Kotto, Haute-Sangha, Haut-Mbomou, Kemo-Gribingui, Lobaye, Mbomou, Nana-Mambere, Ombella-Mpoko, Ouaka, Ouham, Ouham-Pende, Sangha*, Vakaga Central African Republic People Back to Top The people of the Central African Republic compose a complex ethnic mosaic. They range from the hunting-and-gathering forest peoples, the Aka, to state-forming groups such as the Zande (formerly Azande) and Nzakara. Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the late 19th century, distinctions between different groups were highly fluid. Many thought of themselves as members of a clan rather than of a broader ethnic group. Interactions with those who spoke different languages and had different cultural practices ranged from peaceful trade and intermarriage to war and enslavement.

Where the gospel has gained hold, the people focus much of their social life around the church and its activities. Where the gospel is not dominant, beer and dancing are the hub of community (and private) gatherings. click to go back
