In the village of Worawora in Ghana, I attended a royal funeral where the entire village gathered. I sat with the chief and representative of the region as we watched the singing and dancing. This video is just a clip of some of the dancing we saw.

  • this kete is for the kotoko king.

  • God bles Africa!

  • @vitaltatoo The gun shots in the air indicate that it´s a royal funeral. A king or a chief or queen or an important person in the royal family had died.

  • The dance is KETE, not ADOWA.

  • O know this too....

  • well all of yall don't no wat yall talkin about im an adowa dancer 2 im not the best but wat he is doing is kete not no adowa oh andDesmondOwusu88 do u no a girl called monica

  • what is the with the shootng effects... in Asante tradition every move that he makes means something and it has nothing to do with shooting anybody... so if you dont know what the dance means please refrain from doing your own special effects

  • Adowa and Kete are pretty much the same with the exception of Kete being a bit faster. But yes you are right this is Kete. You can tell by the leader drummer, he's playing the Kwodu (sp). In Adowa it would be the Fotofrom (sp).

  • Yes this is adowa. I'm an adowa dancer and his footwork is serious paaa. If you have the rest of the video with him dancing can you please send it to me??? Pleases........with a cherry on top?!

  • To be honest to you....You are not far from Hitler.....very intolerant....u know..when this builds up, then u'll start killing people who are not like you....thats exactaly what happened to Hitler.....
