English: This black masquerade, seen in Ihiala, is recognized by its dark, hair covered appearance and calm, non aggressive presence. Unlike more intense masquerades, it moves in a composed and controlled manner, creating a quiet but striking impression during cultural events. Often accompanied by young boys, who follow and interact around it, the masquerade becomes a focal point of attention and engagement. Within the traditions of the Igbo people, such performances reflect community participation, continuity, and cultural expression, where even younger members take part in observing and supporting traditional displays.
