Riddim is an african spirit: Masks of this elongated type were worn by members of the powerful religious and judiciary secret society known as the Ngil, which was widespread among the Fang tribe (also Known as Ekang, a tribe from Central west Africa). Ngil members acted as police and judges, revealing sorcerers and handing down sentences to those who did not obey the law. Ngil masters were also known as peacekeepers, settling conflicts between clans and rival villages.

The Objective of the Ekang NFT project is to bring the story and the culture of the Ekang (aka Fang ) tribe to the mainstream. I am passionate about forgotten cultures & civilizations. Coming from Gabon, where a large portion of the population is coming from the Fang tribe (like myself), my first objective was to reconnect with a culture greatly eroded by centuries of colonization. Examining old documents redacted by explorers and priests of the 18 century, looking into art auction websites, I discovered that the forgotten art and culture of the Fang/Ekang people was and is still admired by collectors/art connoisseurs (including artists such as Picasso, Braque, and Derain who were inspired by Fang masks called Ngil), selling in private auctions for millions of dollars. My goal is to share the richness, beauty, and variety of this culture, with more than a select group of people, through digital art and NFT's
