[@shjakes]

I am now convinced that the slaves that were sent to Tobago W.I. came from Ghana, including my grandfather's ancestors.

Thank you for filming and posting such a cultural highlight wich is rarely to find nowadays! I've been to Ghana several times in the last 25 years and know a little bit about the profundity of these scenes. Well done!

@shjakes Adowa is different. At this Ayie for Otumfuo there was plenty of Adowa. We will post some Adowa for you soon, so that you can hopefully analyze and compare. Thanks for your comments

@Akanmedia All he shjakes was pointing out the similarity of some of these cultural practices to practices in Trinidad (and many other places in the Caribbean).

@MeAndHubbyToo Well to be fair, the Ghanaian government HAS apologized for slavery and has welcomed African Americans with open arms to relocate to Ghana. Giving individuals land and a nice home.

How is this different from the Adowa Music & Dance? Thanks for posting this culturally rich video.
