[5] Around the first week of July every year, the customary festival of Nabasga is held in the town of Zorgho to pay homage to ancestors.

[6] This festival, held by the chief of the town, the Naba Sanem of Zorgho, consists of a ritual of sacrifice to thank the ancestors for the past season and implore their blessings for the one that begins.

Warba, maranse, yarma, liwaga, kiègba and other dances are performed to lively music.

[6] On the evening of Saturday around 5 pm, the chief leaves the town on horseback, accompanied by his ministers, his notables and some women of the royal family, each carrying a basket on their head.

In the vicinity of the path leading to this place, in front of and behind the chief, thousands of people make the movement to observe the ritual.
