  • This is a celebration in Achimota. While you are correct that this is a dance mostly associated with tribes in the Volta Region, you can find places throughout the southern half of Ghana where this dance is practiced.

  • my boyfriend is half ghanian of ewe, i want to learn his language as a surprise but i dont know what language they speak or the name its called, can anyone help me out! cuz i want to sing to him

  • did you see our short Ewe video here? I think there are some others too. It is indeed a very difficult language to learn, but just some simple things would be a big suprise to your boyfriend

  • Sweet! I can still do my Agbadza dance!

  • Being from the West, it's amazing to see a large group of people singing and dancing together. Very powerful.

  • great dance

    

  • great dance..

  • am proud to be an ewe. Mawu lo me

  • This make feel very good as ewe man.

  • This is not the real agbadza! Its played faster and in another form. Here it is used for a vodjou ceremony. Especially for voudjou Sakpatè or Kofidjabakouvodjou. You can see three women which have been taken by a spirit.

    The real agbadza is Sogbebadza which is coming from Ghana Voltaregion and Togo/Benin Ouatchi. Its used for people who had an heavy accident or killed themselves or have a dangereous sickness like crazy people.

  • Great to see this - having such a good audio recording of the songs is so wonderful. Thank you for posting!!! Need to go back soon....

  • oh my God.... I love this video! These are my people from the same community back home in Ghana (Kissemah) village. I know almost every single person in this video:) Me Love It....
