GHANAIAN DANCE

 WHAT DO YOU KNOW ?

And about the Ghanaian Culture .

Culture is the unique tradition , morals, worldviews , academic creative expression and language of a civilization or a group of people. These principles and ideas serve as the cornerstone of customary actions and practices and are transmitted from generations to generations. 

GHANAIAN DRESSING


In Ghana , the diverse ethnic groups execute a variety of dances. Included in this group are Adowa, Kete, Bamaya, Bima , Boborbor , Kpalongo , Agbadza , Patsa , Gome , Apatampa and others of a like nature.  In the Southern region of Ghana , the Akan people who are Twi speakers , perform the ADOWA dance.
 
 
Oral history has it that , a great Queen of the Ashantis  ( ABREWA TUTUWAA ) was sick and the only way to get her healed was through getting a life ANTELOPE from the wild to pacify the gods and make her well again as revealed by the chief priest . This brought about the ADOWA DANCE.

Let's flag high  the colours of Ghana.  
Till then , "ma kra mu " saying goodbye
