Culture and history

The cultural mosaic of Togo is formed from the traditions of the southern ewe/mine and northern Kabye, the official French language and traces of the German colonial period.

Vodun practices and syncretic rites are strong on the coast, Christianity and Islam are also widespread in the country - this sets a moderate, responsible attitude to excitement.

Iconic holidays are Evala and Akpema initiations in the Kara region, as well as "Yamskaya" festivals in southern communities; from dances and rhythms, agbadza and modern Lomé afrobeat scenes are known.

Football and the Hawks team are an important part of urban identity, popular collective entertainment is adjacent to lotteries and bets.

Public expectations emphasize family values, transparency of operators, protection of minors and prevention of addiction, which affects the perception of casinos and online games.
