The Banna tribe is a small tribe that lives in the southwest region of the Omo Valley. They have ancestral and cultural associations with the Hamar and Bashada peoples and perform many ritual dances while singing. The Tsamai people are their neighboring tribe. Banna people are agro-pastoralists, meaning they farm crops and raise livestock. They believe that singing and dancing help to bring harmony within the community and drive away bad spirits, allowing the tribe to thrive. The women of the tribe often wear colorful beads, bracelets, and traditional skirts made of leather. Men may wear clay hair buns and body decorations as symbols of status. Body painting is common, using natural pigments from the earth. Traditional dancing plays an important role in ceremonies, and wealth is often measured by the number of cattle a man owns.
