  • this is the best performance that i have seen of adowa here on youtube!!! thank you for posting this

  • When i was 6 i was a professional well known Adowa dancer, going to perform at funerals and parties and stuff. My dad put a stop to it. You know how african fathers are, they dont want any type of exposure for their daughters. Now am 33yrs old and dont think i can dance as good as i use to before.Someday when i have a child, i'll make sure they take the lessons.

see all

  • @zotorglo Is the only difference between Kete and Adowa the drums being played? Are their differences between the gestures used in each dance?

  • This is not Adowa, it is actually Kete, notice the special drums they play with the red and black cloth. The atumpan drums are used for Adowa, they are the two drums leaning on the white stand, which are not played in Kete.

  • you are really really good check you guys

  • Fantastic

  • Beautiful!

  • beautiful!!!

  • These were the dancers we were raised on.... Not Djembe but Nigerian and Ghanian and afro cuban... We were grounded before we were allowed to step in the ring with Djembe. I am gld. I love djembe but now after seeing this I can go back to what I know and dance till I'm 108 with ease!
