This video starts with Atamuga, where the warriors take "the great oath" before battle. We dance three Adzokpas, which are short, fast sections of choreographed dancing and drumming. Finally, we proceed to Vutsotsoe, which is the main body of Fast Atsiagbekor.

We learned the drumming, dancing, and singing from the Dagbe Cultural Center staff in Kopeyia, Ghana, and at UMASS from Kwabena Boateng and royal hartigan. Dancers, from left to right, are Mike Ward, Abbie Chambers, Ben Paulding (me), Lauren Falabella, and Brian Kesley.
