postheadericon Karo, the Omo ethnic grup (Ethiopia)

Karo, the Omo ethnic grup (Ethiopia) Tube. Duration : 46.20 Mins.


[ENG] The river Omo valley has been a life source for one of Africa's richest ethnic cultural groups, which has preserved many ancestral traditions. The Karo is a people made up of only one thousand people. Each day, when the sun rises, the working day starts for Úgumu, a 10-year-old Karo child who helps his parents do their daily chores. The Karo children play a fundamental role in domestic activities and thus in supporting the family. From the earliest age these families can count on the vital help of their children. The families work collectively in a daily struggle to subsist. [ESP] Los karo viven a orillas del río Homo, son pastores de vacas y cabras, en su vida cotidiana dedican gran parte del timpo en el cuidado de su belleza, decorando su cuerpo con originales pinturas y escarificaciones.
