There is profound depth in African culture, including the craft and symbology in the architecture.

May I recommend the beautiful series The Tribal Eye, BBC, 1975, presented by a strapping young David Attenborough in his 50s?

See also African Twilight, a book/documentary/exhibit bu two collaborators who’ve been traveling in Africa for decades. They are documenting the traditional ceremonies which are disappearing in modernity.
