Summarize this article for a 10 year old
A kufi or kufi cap is a brimless, short, and rounded cap worn by men in many populations in North Africa, East Africa, West Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.[1] It is also worn by men throughout the African diaspora. The cap has strong associations with many Islamic cultures and pan-African pride.[2] In the United States and the United Kingdom, it is also called a "taqiyah".[3][4][5][6]
The kufi cap is not specific to any one country, although it has been perhaps most associated with Nigeria.[7] In Togo, the kufi is made from colourful fabrics, and are often worn during important events such as weddings, festivals, and other ceremonies.[8] In Mama Tchamba performances, the kufi is worn as an adornment during dances.[9] Within Islamic communities in West Africa the kufi is worn during prayer.[10]
