🎧 Audio Prize for Wiki Loves Africa 2026 This 🎧 Audio Prize for Wiki Loves Africa 2026

This dynamic sound montage brings together voices of devotion from different spiritual traditions, creating a layered soundscape of faith, ritual and connection. Though rooted in distinct beliefs, these voices share a universal human gesture: reaching beyond ourselves in search of guidance, healing and belonging. 

Through rhythm, breath and chant, the piece explores how prayer — across traditions such as Vodun, Christianity and Islam — becomes a powerful ritual that connects communities to the sacred. 

Congratulations to ItzAbdullahi 👏

Mijikenda Wedding Blessing Ceremony taken by Victor.ngonzo 🇰🇪

This vibrant image captures a traditional pre-wedding blessing among the Mijikenda people of coastal Kenya, where music, dance and community come together to celebrate an upcoming marriage.

Rooted in indigenous knowledge and ancestral traditions, the ceremony reflects the communal nature of marriage — a union not only between two people, but between families, heritage and generations.

Congratulations to Victor.ngonzo on this outstanding achievement! 📸👏
