Ngwao Letshwao takes its rich folk dance to Italy

The local dance troupe, which specialises in cultural tourism and folk arts, is on a 17-day trip in Italy at the invitation of the International Council of Organisations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts (CIOFF).

The group leader and director, Odirile Rammoni explained that they were invited by the President of CIOFF after he discovered their Facebook page which promotes Botswana cultural dance tourism. He said this not the group's first Italian performance, as they previously performed in Italy in 2019. The opportunity is significant for the group, providing global exposure, networking opportunities, and potential future collaborations. Their performances aim to market Botswana culture worldwide, attracting foreign investors and tourists.
