Singing, Dancing and Drumming in Accra

May 30th, 2008


Delegates to the eLearning Africa Conference were treated to a brilliant and energetic display of drumming, singing and dancing at a reception a couple of evenings ago. As someone who played the drums for many years in my younger days, I was astounded by the complexity of the patterns being played by the drummers. With the colour, the songs and the great dancing, it was a great way to be introduced to at least a small slice of Ghanaian culture.

I’d like to discover the name of the strange stringed instrument played by the musician and singer in the image below.
