Adowa Music & Dance - Asante People, Ghana

don't you mean Sante sana

wow that is so imazing. in our culture respect is most valued and there is no better way of showing respect and appreciation than saying thank you.

very nice dance, respect to my ghanaian people.

dis is cool i like dis...im nigerian nd my gurlfriend is from ghana

Well if you guys ignore other major African ethnicities that were shipped to Jamaica such as the Kongo and the Igbo, then yes you guys are Asante..............

buddy at :53 starts tearing that shit up. you really see the roots of moves of people like James Brown and Micheal Jackson... The timing of the dance is awesome too... they don't dance as if the music is playing for them they are one with the music and part of the rhythm itself

did you see buddy in the purple robes just give em the bizness! you must teach me the art of those moves my brother!

buddy with the purple robes just gave em the bizness! i must go and learn the art of those moves my brother......

Hi, lovefaith purity.

Another point about 'adowa' music in general is that it and the music which it interlinks/fuses with, are highly symbolic. The words and gestures (esp hand gestures) give messages in counterpoint, or as double emphasis. It's a plaintive, soulful (in the old sense of the word), ancient sound which I never get tired of hearing.

year 2009 this style is going on.
