Description
Guro, or GoEuro, also known as Kwesi (Kouen/Koueni/Kweny), Dipa and Lo are
ancient hunters and currently agricultural Mandé-speaking people residing in
the valley regions of the Bandama River in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). The
Guro who are part of the larger Mande ethnic group in West Africa can be found
primarily in the areas of Haut-Sassandra and Marahoue. They are bordered by the
Bete(s), to the west and Baule(s), to the east. The Guro originally called
themselves Kweni; their name "Guro or GoEuro" was given to them by their
neighboring Baule people. In fact, the name Guro is a Baule name. The Guro
culture is closely related to that of Baule as a result of deep interaction
between them. Most of the Baule wood carving artistry has the influence of Guro
and the Baule in turn has also influenced Guro with their Akan traditional way
of life especially in the area textile and dressing.
