MANKESSEM AFAHYE (CARNIVAL) 2008-GHANA

Carnival is very popular outside Africa but what many dont know is its origin from the motherland. The video captures the people of Mankessim in the central region celebrating its annual akwambo afahye after 27 years break. The festival coincided with two international events hosted by the Ghana Percussive Arts Society and the International Center for African Culture & Arts known as the Ghana Day of Percussion and the Global Day for Peace ( EARTHDANCE 2008).
Osagyefo Amanfo Edu, the Mankessim Omanhene called for peace to prevail in the community and appealed to the other royal family to support his tenure till it gets to the turn of the Pakesedo (Nana Adoko) royal family.
