The video „Akaba-Mbele“ is about tribal marks in Togo. The white lines appearing and disappearing on the face of the man in the video, represent tribal marks from different ethnic groups in Togo. The marks are used for identification, beautification and for traditional medical treatment. Togo, a small country of 7 million people in West Africa, has more than 25 ethnic groups. Tribal marks are part of our cultural heritage.
