Africa - Togo: Koutammakou, Die Batammariba im Tal der guten Maurer

Seit 2004 ist Koutammakou, das Land der Batammariba, das sich rund 500 Kilometer von der Hauptstadt Lomé, im Grenzgebiet zum Benin befindet, Stätte des Weltkulturerbes der UNESCO.

Dank seiner geografischen Isolation in den Atacorabergen hat das Volk der Batamarimba seine jahrtausendealten Traditionen gegen die Einflüsse der modernen Welt schützen können. Sowohl die Lebensweise als auch die Architektur der Batammariba beruhen auf uralten Überlieferungen und Traditionen.

Togo/Westafrika: Wochenmarkt in KPalime

Wochenmarkt in KPalime. Ein Platz der in Togo bekannt ist. Hier bieten die Menschen aus der Landwirtschaft ihre Produkte an. Die Armut ist unvorstellbar - Mütter mit Kindern bereiten nächtelang Speisen zu, die auf dem Markt angeboten werden. Einige stellen Bissup her, die afrikanische Urform des Hibiskusgetränkes Bizz'up. Eingepackt in kleine Plastikbeutel wird das Erfrischungsgetränk auf breiten Schalen angeboten. Die werden landestypisch auf dem Kopf balanciert. Bizz'up-Geschäftsführer Andreas März aus Rosenheim wollte wissen, wie das alte und moderne Bizz'up auf dem Wochenmarkt angenommen werden. Im Auftrag von Bizz'up begleitete Food Television Deutschland den Manager bei seinem Rundgang und erlebte eine bunte und exotische Welt.
