#KnowGhana: Kpanlogo, Agbadza, Adowa—African dances that will interest you

 



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.

In this last week of its cultural celebrations, Ghana Tourism Authority brings to light, its own traditional music and dances namely: Kpanlogo dance (which is related with the Ga ethnic group of the Greater Accra region), Agbadza dance which is related with with the southern part of Ghana and the Adowa dance, related with the Akans in the middle and also the southern part of Ghana.

Through two different posts on its Instagram page, the Ghana Tourism Authority shared some juicy bit of information (that are great tourism reads) on these dances and their music.

Explore them below…
