Is it strange to hear of Mankessim carnival? The origin of Carnival in the Caribbean and Brazil has its roots in Africa and strong influence from the west. Known locally as Afahye, these are special times in Ghana where special ceremonies are performed to celebrate life, remember the good works of the ancestors and to usher in new agricultural year and harvest. Most of these festivals also commenmorate the migrational history of the celebrant community.
