After a researcher showed recordings of their songs and dances across Sierra Leone, they discovered a remote village that had the exact same traditions. In this photograph, the Gangá-Longobá and their distant relatives celebrate meeting in their ancestral village in Sierra Leone. “We are not so alone anymore,” Alfredo Duquesne, a Gangá-Longobá man said in "They Are We," a documentary about the discovery and reunion. “To finally know where you come from and how you came from there. That’s divine.” #afrocuban #cuba #sierraleone #reunion #celebration #ancestry #roots #africa #theyarewe #veryblack
