Arts & Culture in the Adamawa Region
The Adamawa Region (French: Région de l’Adamaoua) is a constituent region of the Republic of Cameroon. It borders the Centre and East regions to the south, the Northwest and West regions to the southwest, Nigeria to the west, the Central African Republic (CAR) to the east, and the North Region to the north.
This mountainous area forms the barrier between Cameroon’s forested south and savanna north. At almost 64,000 km2 in land area, the Adamawa is the third largest of Cameroon’s ten regions. The land is rugged and sparsely populated, however, as most is devoted to the rearing of cattle. The Muslim Fulbe (Fulani) form the major ethnic group, though Tikar, Gbaya, and other peoples are present in lesser numbers.
