The Kulama Ceremony is performed in the late wet season (March-April) when a ring appears around the moon.
Kulama is a traditional initiation for young men which coincides with the harvest of a certain wild yam species. Elders
of both sexes sing and dance for three days welcoming the boys into adulthood. The boy is then renamed with his true
man's name.
