An excellent and inspiring documentary on the celebrated Kente cloth of Ashanti Kingdom. A global cultural symbol of African identity. Thank you for educating us on this cultural heritage.

Nature teaches us a lot. Thanks for the inspiration from the spider, that moved Opoku and Kwakye to bring out the kente masterpiece.

[@yenkassa]

Francis Vilas Mensah So, true, love your insightful comment, “nature teaches us a lot”. We don’t pay as much attention to nature anymore as we should

The name is kete. its an original 2 syllabi Evhe name meaning Ke (open) and Te(tighten) depicting the process of weaving the cloth.

Are we, like, missing whole sections of him talking? There is a part where there is no subtitles and he literally says the english word 'Red'. There is just large streches of him speaking.........and there are just no subtitles at all.

[@elitomegah7192]

This history is different from what I read. According to what I read, they learnt how to make kente from the Ewes... the ewes and gas brought kente to Ghana. Any way thanks for the enlightenment😊

[@gingerbreadmangangafarmer2251]

What do the Ewes and Gas call Basket in their language?

[@yenkassa]

Please share your sources so we can research and add to this. This story is verified by several sources. BTW, feel free to connect us to any Ewe Kente expert/historian so we can interview them.

[@mawuliahiable6178]

Gas dont have any claim to kente weaving. The part of ewe land that weaves kente have ancestors from ashanti. We got the culture from ashantis. There is no ewe word for this cloth. We have to stop claiming others culture.

[@wholesalemanager3456]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5rGg52Fd7mojZo Kente is from Bontouku Bono Gyaman

[@listenup2882]

So those fabrics were developed only recently? I thought they had an ancient history.

[@yenkassa]

Well, it depends on what is ancient for you:).

[@baffoeelvis8316]

I thank God we were able to defend kente from Nigeria's culture snatchers

[@Shirley8]

With all due respect are we not going to touch on the influence the Ewe culture and weavers had and still have? What is the saying again "Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter"

[@yenkassa]

Yes, that story is in the works. I hear there is a debate on the origins of the name Kente and the cloth in general… btw, Ewe kente weaving is slowly becoming a thing of the past because of the current trend of supplying Kumasi with the Asante Kente.

[@richardkwesioti3086]

Hi boy too would

[@lahuntasease5741]

Well I found out that the Kente cloth goes back further during the time of King Solomon

[@richardkwesi427]

[@e.o.mensah]

Its was one Asante king who sent some number of kyekyen cloth makers to the ewe people in somewhere to learn how to weave the kente cloth. The kente cloth actually originate from the ewe people of togo
