BLACK AND WHITE CULTURAL GALA AT THE EMBASSY OF ETHIOPIA

Description:

- The Majesty of Addis Ababa
- The Royalty of Gandor ("The African Camelot)

Ethiopia is a country of rich culture, strong heritage and amazing landscapes. Tonight, we celebrate their culture with a Saturday Night party like you never experienced before! Journey into the heart of Africa as we step onto the soil of Ethiopia, the oldest independent nation in Africa.

This ancient land is a land of stunning natural beauty covering an area twice the size of Kenya, France or Texas. This country offers a rich diversity of culture and geography that captivates any visitor. It contains a mosaic of a people with over 80 different languages, reflecting over 100 cultures.
