Pwe (traditional performance)

Pwe, short for "traditional performance," refers to the cultural and artistic expressions that are rooted in a community’s history, customs, and local practices. It includes various forms such as music, dance, storytelling, and rituals that are passed down through generations. Pwe serves to preserve cultural identity, strengthen social bonds, and maintain a connection to the community’s heritage. Unlike modern or commercial entertainment, it is often performed in communal settings with a focus on cultural significance rather than profit, providing a meaningful way for communities to celebrate and sustain their unique traditions.
