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.

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....
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.

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
