The devotion to magi king Saint Balthazar congregated the citizens every January 6th in the 6th of January Club of Kamba Kua. In the celebration, mixing catholic religion with African traditions, there are up to six different rhythms and dances such as the “kuarahy”, and the participants raise their arms to heaven as their African ancestors did when making their petitions to heaven. Both the dance and the music of the drums are the registered trademark of Kamba Kua.
