The cultures in Africa are diverse and heterogeneous consisting of a mixture of countries with various tribes that each have their own unique characteristic from the continent of Africa. This is as a result of the diverse populations that today inhabit the continent of Africa. African culture is expressed in its arts and crafts, folklore and religion, cuisine, music and languages.

The countries in West Africa include Nigeria, Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Benin, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Togo, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Mali, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Mauritania, Niger, Sao Tome and Principe. Below are the Top 3 most popular African cultures.

The Ghanaian Kente

Kente is a silk and cotton fabric made of interwoven cloth strips. The cloth was a sacred and royal cloth worn only in times of importance and was the cloth of Kings. It is an icon of African cultural heritage currently worn around the world and is easily identified by its dazzling multicoloured patterns of bright colours. Every colour on this beautiful fabric has a meaning. Every colour is a symbol of events related to the daily lives of the people.
