GHANA'S VIBRANT CULTURES: The modern country of Ghana gained its independence in 1957. It takes its name from an ancient African kingdom. The territory that makes up modern Ghana includes areas that were part of the old British Gold Coast Colony on the coast, parts of German Togoland to the east, parts of the former Ashanti Empire in the middle, and the predominantly Muslim Northern Territories to the north. Ghana has a democratically elected parliament and president, a market-oriented economy, and an active press. Ghana is a multiethnic society whose citizens speak many languages like Twi, Fante, Ga, Ewe, and Dagbani. English is the country's official language. Though the early states like the Fante on the coast, the Dagomba in the north, and the Ashanti Empire are gone, many chiefly traditions continue. Modern Chiefs and Queen Mothers have new roles in promoting the welfare of their people within the larger context of the modern country of Ghana. Ghana's craft traditions have an international audience. The Ashanti Kente cloth woven in Bonwire, a village near Kumasi, the former chiefly city of the Ashanti Empire, has been adopted by many people of African descent the world over. It sometimes appears as an element in high fashion. Kente comes in many patterns; each distinct geometric element has its own individual meaning. We've used one of these patterns for our wrappers. Other fabrics like Adinkra cloth are created for special occasions. Adinkra is produced by block printing special designs arranged in meaningful patterns. We adopted one of the Adinkra designs for our chocolate molds.

HISTORY OF COCOA IN GHANA Cocoa has been grown in Ghana at least since the 1870s. The first documented evidence is that of the Basel Missionaries from Switzerland who began experimenting with the crop. There is also evidence that Ghanaians began experimenting with the crop at the same time. We also know that Tetteh Quarshie, a Ghanaian goldsmith or blacksmith, brought cocoa seeds from Spanish-controlled Fernando Po to continue further experimentation in cocoa growing during the later part of the 19th century. He encouraged other Ghanaians to grow the crop. British government officials also experimented with cocoa in Ghana. No one, however, proved as successful at growing this imported crop as the indigenous Ghanaians. They understood much better than Europeans how to farm in tropical rain forests. Europeans often insisted on using techniques better suited to their home countries the result was failure. Many Ghanaians made fortunes in cocoa in the early decades of this century. To this day, cocoa is produced primarily by independent local farmers with small to moderate-sized holdings, not on the large plantations used in many parts of the world.

We will also explore other aspects of an ancient culture which is indigenous to Ghana, West Africa and is practiced in other parts of West Africa and the Congo. W e are Africans born in the Diaspora who have willingly and excitedly chosen to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors. We know that our ancestors were brought to the Americas and Caribbean from the West Coast of Africa. We have visited the dungeons in Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast and witnessed the inhumane holding conditions of our royal ancestors who were captured and enslaved. Nevertheless they were able to reach these shores thus we, the members of AFSANI, are here honoring them by following the cultural and spiritual traditions as we are taught from the various Palaces and Shrines in Ghana.

Volunteer In Ghana Volunteer Abroad Volunteer In The USA How To Apply ... Request Information Ghana's Culture Rooted in Ancient Akan Society Akan, a "pure" heritage, is one of the most ancient cultures in Africa. These African people live predominately in the countries of Ghana and Ivory Coast with many descendants now living in Europe and the USA. Before the 13th century, the Akan peoples (ancestors of the Asante Tribe) migrated from other parts of Africa into the forest belt of present-day Ghana. Family bands established small states in the hilly country in the neighborhood of modern Kumasi. This early migration was likely related to the opening of trade routes established to move gold throughout the region. It was not until the end of the 17th century, however, that the grand Asante Kingdom emerged in the central forest region of Ghana, when several small states united under the Chief of Kumasi. Much of what is known about ancient Akan customs was passed on in oral histories, which have survived for several hundred years. Many of the objects that have been recovered through archaeological excavations are still produced in modified form among contemporary Akan peoples. In 1957, after a period of internal self-government, the Gold Coast became the first African colony to achieve independence under the charismatic leadership of Kwame Nkrumah.

Ghana - Culture Overview The Republic of Ghana evokes both the ancient Empire of Ghana and the riches of the "Gold Coast," as the area was called by the British. The historical abundance of Ghana's gold, timber, and kola nuts drew Europeans to its shores first to trade these goods and then to buy slaves. Ghanaians remain proud of the armed might with which the Ashanti people resisted the British until 1900. In 1957, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan nation to achieve independence, and its first president, Kwame Nkrumah, funneled state resources into the expansion of traditional arts and culture. Nkrumah also introduced strong support for pan-African ideas, and Ghana has been a leader in researching and celebrating African culture in its largest sense as well as in its most local traditions. As in most West African countries, local tradition varies among the nation's distinctive ethnic groups. The Akan (which include the Ashanti) constitute the largest group in Ghana. Other major societies are the Dagomba, who reside primarily in the north; the Ewe, who live mostly in the east; the Ga and Adangbe, who populate the south; and the Guan, who are northeastern dwellers. Each of these groups speaks one or more languages. The Akan, for example, comprise both Twi and Fanti speakers. English is the nation's official language. Nearly 40% of Ghanaians practice animist forms of worship, and even among Christians and Muslims people retain respect for the traditional beliefs of their ancestors. Accra, Ghana is home to a unique faith called Zetaheal, which claims a growing number of several thousand adherents. Established in the mid-1970s, Zetaheal combines the teachings of the Koran and the Bible into a single service led by both a pastor and an Imam.

Once renown for the splendour and wealth of their rulers, they are most famous today for their craft work, particularly their hand-carved stools and fertility dolls and their colourful kente cloth. Kente cloth is woven in bright, narrow strips with complex patterns; it's usually made from cotton and is always woven outdoors, exclusively by men. The village is a social as well as an economic unit. Everyone participates in the major ceremonies, the most frequent of which are funeral celebrations which typically last several days. Attendance at funerals is normally expected from everyone in the village and expenditure on funerals is a substantial part of the household budget. (

Home Discussions History Events ... Religion Ancient Ghana Empire of Ancient Ghana Despite its name, the old empire of Ghana is not geographically, ethnically or in any way related to modern Ghana. Ancient Ghana lies 400 miles north-west of modern Ghana, it encompasses what is now modern Northern Senegal and Southern Mauritania. The origins of Ghana are not certain, but at the start of the first millennium AD a number of clans of the Soninke people, a Mande speaking people living in the region bordering the Sahara, came together under the leadership of Dinga Cisse. There are different narration's of who he was but history establishes the fact that he was a stranger from afar. It has been said that it is likely that the Soninke was formed in response to the attacks from nomadic raiders suffering from drought and seeking new territory. Further west was the state of Takrur in the Senegal valley. It was linked to the north via a coastal route leading to Morocco via Sjilmasa. Ancient Ghana derived power and wealth from gold and the introduction of the camel during the Trans-Saharan trade increased the quantity of goods that were transported. Majority of the knowledge of Ghana comes from the Arab writers. Al-Hamdani, for example, describes Ghana as having the richest gold mines on earth. These mines were situated at Bambuk, on the upper Senegal river. The Soninke people also sold slaves, salt and copper in exchange for textiles, beads and finished goods. They built their capital city, Kumbi Saleh, right on the edge of the Sahara and the city quickly became the most dynamic and important southern terminus of the Saharan trade routes. Kumbi Saleh became the focus of all trade, with a systematic form of taxation. Later on Audaghust became another commercial centre.

Home Discussions History Events ... Religion Ghana between 1982 - 1987 The Second Coming of Rawlings: The First Six Years, 1982- 87 The new government that took power on December 31, 1981, was the eighth in the fifteen years since the fall of Nkrumah. Calling itself the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC), its membership included Rawlings as Chairman, Brigadier Joseph Nunoo-Mensah (whom Limann had dismissed as Army Commander), two other officers, and three civilians. Despite its military connections, the PNDC made it clear that it was unlike other soldier-led governments. This was immediately proved by the appointment of fifteen civilians to cabinet positions. Opposition to the PNDC administration developed nonetheless in different sectors of the political spectrum. The most obvious groups opposing the government were former PNP and PFP members. They argued that the Third Republic had not been given time to prove itself and that the PNDC administration was unconstitutional. Further opposition came from the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), which criticized the government's use of people's tribunals in the administration of justice. Members of the Trade Union Congress were also angered when the PNDC ordered them to withdraw demands for increased wages. The National Union of Ghanaian Students (NUGS) went even farther, calling on the government to hand over power to the attorney general, who would supervise new elections.

It looks as if we are not going to go out of it in the foreseeable future. It is to borrow to manage borrowing for the management of the Economy. We are in the process evolving a borrowing culture. When we go out to borrow, we look for lending institutions, and look for lending nations. We call them Development Partners, which is quite a beautiful name for all their good intentions. They come down indeed as partners to co-manage the loans with us, which appears a little superfluous in the lending and borrowing business we are acquainted with locally. But here they come as Country Representatives, not as Ambassadors or High Commissioners, but representatives in fact to manage the targets set for the borrower who should accept the loan on set conditions we call as conditionalities. The conditionalities are hardly negotiable. The borrower should accept them to have the loan, or refuse them and miss the loan facility

He, however, called on all media to endeavour to cross-check every piece of information before going to the press.

The 10-day festival is under the theme: "Culture, Development and Ghanaian Identity". The chiefs, who were dressed in rich kente cloths, velvet, smocks and flowing gowns and adorned with gold ornaments and expensive beads around their necks, elbows, wrists and ankles, they walked gorgeously from the Western Regional House of Chiefs through the principal streets of Sekondi to the durbar grounds. The Paramount chiefs were carried in palanquins, while the divisional chiefs walked amid drumming, dancing and firing of musketry. The festival, scheduled for last year, had to be postponed on two occasions due to lack of funds to complete the Western Regional Culture Theatre to host the festival. The official opening of the festival that would portray the rich cultural heritage of Ghana , drumming, dancing, poetry recitals and other cultural activities, originally scheduled for 1000 hours was delayed until 1600 hours.
