The Baule or Baoulé /ˈbaʊˌleɪ/ (Baule: Baule [ba.u.le]; French: baoulé [bawle]) are an Akan people and one of the largest groups in Côte d'Ivoire who historically migrated from Ghana. The Baoulé are traditionally farmers who live in the centre of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), in a triangle shaped region (the Baoule “V”) between the rivers Bandama and N'Zi. This area broadly encompasses the regions around the cities of Bouaké and Yamoussoukro. The Baoulé have come to play a relatively important role in the recent history of Côte d'Ivoire: the State's first President, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, was a Baoulé; additionally, since the Ivorian cocoa boom of the 1960-70s, the Baoulé have also become one of the most widespread ethnicity throughout the country, especially in the Southern forests (the «Low Coast») where they are amongst the most numerous planters of cocoa, rubber, and coffee and sometimes seem to outnumber the local native ethnic groups.
BAULE MASKS
Generally, ancient masks in the Kingdom were symbol of power to the owner.
The power were coming from spiritual world and the ancestors.
The masks are:
1. Ritual or ceremonial object
2. Decorative or ornamental object (Art)
Often times, the Baule are noted for their fine wooden sculpture, particularly for their ritual statuettes representing ghosts or spirits; these, as well as carved ceremonial masks, were originally associated with the ancestor cult.

Jafeth Moiane is a versatile Mozambican artist, working as a painter, sculptor and photographer. He currently lives and works in Mozambique, where he has developed his artistic talent since childhood.
Jafeth Moiane started drawing and painting in 1976, while studying in primary school. From the following year, in 1977, he was already passionate about the art of painting. In 1984-1985, he took a painting course to learn the techniques of drawing in pencil, watercolor, oil and acrylic. Later, in 2013, he also took a batik painting course.
Since 2007, Jafeth Moiane regularly participates in exhibitions across Mozambique, where he presents his varied artistic works.
Currently, the paintings of Jafeth Moiane are dedicated to the people of the CABO DELGADO province, in the PALMA district, in northern Mozambique, where the French company TOTAL is building the largest oil and gas project in Africa and the world. Women and children are brutally killed there by terrorists. Since 2017, tens of thousands of people have been killed and more than 700,000 people have fled to other parts of the country with nothing, only their clothes. It is a humanitarian crisis.
Jafeth Moiane's paintings are a cry for the end of this genocide, for peace and the development of his country, Mozambique. He uses his art to raise awareness of this tragic situation and to raise his voice for the well-being of his people.
