What to expect

Drumming is part and parcel of the Ghanaian culture; Ghanaian music is characterized by a “strong rhythmic interest” that exhibits common characteristics in all regions. every region, ethnic group and tribe has a rhythm to their culture. This is why you are likely to see drumming and dancing in every part of the country.

Whether it’s at the beach or on the streets of Accra you will see people drumming just for the fun of it and its entertainment to them and those around.

Drums consist of skin or “drumhead” stretched over the open end of a frame or “shell”. Well known African drums include the Djembe and the Talking drum.

Some Ghanaian drums included:
•  Djembe – The Djembe (aka jim-bay) is the most popular African hand drum in the world.
