Kouzen is often served with Kleren. He is also given coffee. However, initiates at GNL Sosyete are taught how to make Kouzen’s very special trempe. A trempe is an alcoholic beverage with herbs steeped within it, that is made as a drink for a Lwa.

Kouzen is well known for his knowledge of working with herbs and plants.

This special drink is made and offered to Kouzen. It also has several secretive magical and healing uses.

During Djouba service, we also change the styles of dancing. In fact, Djouba dancing is very particular and specific to it’s nation. There is no way to confuse it with any other. During djouba, people graze their feet across the ground and hop. Some say this hop comes from native Taino spiritual dances.

In some Sosyetes, they play a special set of instruments for Kouzen Fetes.

Kouzen Zaka is a Lwa of the Djouba nation. Many individuals, mistakenly, think that he is a Rada Lwa. Rather, he is actually a member of the Djouba nation. This nation holds the secrets and mysteries of the Indians, the Tainos and Arawak Indians indigenous to the island.

Djouba is served right after Rada and right before the Nagos.
