Nana Kimati Dinizulu and Antoine Roney at Pikworo Slave Camp at Paga- Nania, Ghana, West Africa

Nana Kimati Dinizulu and Antoine Roney at Pikworo Slave Camp at Paga- Nania in the Upper East region of Ghana, West Africa. Performing musical libations for our ancestors of the African Holocaust of Enslavement. Pikworo (Slave Camp) is a 'holding ground" that was set up by Samori and Babatu Zato the infamous slave raiders during the nineteenth century. Enslaved Africans were forcibly detained at this location till there numbers were sufficient and then marched to "Slave Markets" such as Salaga, before again moving further South to the coast. Once on the coast enslaved Africans were then held in dungeons in Slave Castles or "Factories" . During each leg of their journey these enslaved Africans were often bought and sold several times before boarding Slave Ships and then making the voyage only to end up if they survived, in a foreign land, being sold again and again. It has been estimated that perhaps as many as forty million Africans were forcibly removed from their homelands in Africa. Many millions perished as a result of the inhuman treatment that was inflicted upon them.
