Djidji Ayôkwé
Djidji Ayôkwé is a significant cultural artifact known as the 'tambour parleur,' a traditional talking drum from Côte d'Ivoire. This 3.5-meter, 430-kilogram wooden drum, made from iroko wood, was originally taken from the village of Adjamé during the colonial period over a century ago. Recently, it was returned to Côte d'Ivoire by French authorities in a ceremony led by Culture Minister Rachida Dati, marking a historic moment in the restitution of cultural heritage.
