Abstract
Nowadays, the neglect and disappearance of family eulogies can be seen, and the new approach to territorial development requires that cultural heritage be taken into account through its safeguarding and promotion. The general objective of this study is to contribute to the safeguarding and enhancement of the eulogies of the Mahi community of Savalou for the promotion of cultural tourism. To achieve this objective, the study combined both qualitative and quantitative methods applied to a sample of 139 people in the 09 districts that make up the Mahi community of the territory on the basis of questionnaires, inventory sheets and an audio recorder. This target group includes community intellectuals (dah...), large wives (nan, yao, houessi), senior citizens and some young people. The different collection techniques and tools made it possible to collect enough data. 20 family panegyrics have been identified in the community in terms of results, and are supported by at least 02 prohibitions each, 01 to 02 rhythms are associated with the declamation of the panegyric. At the end of the study, the need to safeguard the eulogies was noted, due to the young generation's lack of knowledge of this cultural heritage.
