The African ritual you're referring to is called Famadihana, or "Turning of the Bones," a unique funerary tradition practiced by the Malagasy people in Madagascar. Every five to seven years, families exhume their ancestors' remains from family tombs, rewrap them in fresh silk shrouds, and dance with the bodies during a celebratory festival. This practice is a joyous occasion to honor ancestors, share family news, and ask for blessings, as the living believe the spirits of the dead remain connected to the world until their bodies fully decompose.
