This is not the real agbadza! Its played faster and in another form. Here it is used for a vodjou ceremony. Especially for voudjou Sakpatè or Kofidjabakouvodjou. You can see three women which have been taken by a spirit.
The real agbadza is Sogbebadza which is coming from Ghana Voltaregion and Togo/Benin Ouatchi. Its used for people who had an heavy accident or killed themselves or have a dangereous sickness like crazy people.
@agbekovou lol what are you talking about? there are different styles of agbadza from place to place. some traditional believers have another tempo and variation but it doesn't make either real nor fake.
oh my God.... I love this video! These are my people from the same community back home in Ghana (Kissemah) village. I know almost every single person in this video:) Me Love It....
This is a celebration in Achimota. While you are correct that this is a dance mostly associated with tribes in the Volta Region, you can find places throughout the southern half of Ghana where this dance is practiced.
these women are all older than i am but dance agbadza with so much ease....am inspired and actually practising some of these moves now...just lovely!!!!
next time am in the Volta i have to attend an event like this.
my boyfriend is half ghanian of ewe, i want to learn his language as a surprise but i dont know what language they speak or the name its called, can anyone help me out! cuz i want to sing to him
did you see our short Ewe video here? I think there are some others too. It is indeed a very difficult language to learn, but just some simple things would be a big suprise to your boyfriend
@ezridax : The language, your boy frind might probably speak is called Anlo. It is the predominantly spoken by the southerners from the Volta Region of Ghana.

Being from the West, it's amazing to see a large group of people singing and dancing together. Very powerful.
