Somba. The Last Tribe

• Prize
• Photographer
  Antonio Aragon Renuncio, Nicaragua

In Togo, inside this beautiful and unknown country, there is an enchanted valley where
time stopped centuries ago. In Atakora Mountains. The natural border with Benin, in West
Africa. The territory of Tamberma warriors. Traditional houses, fetishes, ancestral
spirits, bows and arrows… pure nature.
They live searching the balance. A perfect balance. Perfect for themselves and for the
environment. Without too much contact that contaminates the soul… without distractions.
Pure human nature. Permanent serenity. Enjoying the family, the sun, the moon and the
stars. Living with Mother Nature, protecting the environment, preserving their identity…
seeking a permanent peace. In their own last territory. At the border... always on the
border.
