The Tiwara ethnic group is an African community that mainly lives in the savannah regions of Mali, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso. Their language is Bambara, one of the most spoken languages in these countries.
Tiwara culture is closely linked to agriculture and nature, particularly the cultivation of millet and cotton. Tiwara masks are famous for their beauty and sophistication, and are used in dance ceremonies to celebrate abundance and fertility. The masks often represent a mythical creature that is a mix of an antelope and a pangolin, two important animals in Tiwara culture.
The Tiwara are also known for their music and dance. Tiwara dance is an energetic dance that is often accompanied by drums, flutes, and singing. The dancers wear special costumes that represent the mythical creatures of the Tiwara masks.
The Tiwara ethnic group is known for its knowledge of medicinal plants, as well as divination and healing practices. They believe in a supreme god called Amma, as well as a multitude of minor deities that represent the forces of nature.
