Dance is a bringer of joy. It is a sibling to music. It is a health therapy to the body. It is an expression of happiness. It is also a cultural identity of a people, tribe or an ethnic group. Africa is a continent of many cultural identities because of its mightily diverse ethnic strength varied to the nations therein.
May has been a month of culture in Ghana where so much has been showcased and spotlighted under the #knowGhana initiative…and this is credited to the Ghana Tourism Authority who has disclosed so much about the country formerly known as the Gold Coast, through its Instagram page.
