I wish I knew more about my culture. These dancers stir my soul. Proud to be Ashanti. Proud to be African!

Kay AK look out for a cd called the SOUL WASHERS DISCS. THEY TELL OF ASHANTI FULL HISTORY AND ALSO TEACHERS U ASHANTI SECRETS WHICH U CAN. IMMEDIATELY START USING. I HAVE NOTICED ITS NOT VERY POPULAR ON THE MARKET FOR WHAT EVER REASON SO WILL TRY MAKE IT AVAILABLE SOME HOW. ITS AMAZING IT SAYS ADOWA IS GODS DANCE WHY? COS IT MEANS WOR DOR WAA WHEN U ARE LOVED U ARE GIVEN MUCH BLESSING FROM THE SKIES AND U CATCH THEM AS THE DROP. ITS TRUE LOOK AT THEM... YER DOR WAA ADOWAA ADOWA BLESSED WE ARE X X X

When i was 6 i was a professional well known Adowa dancer, going to perform at funerals and parties and stuff. My dad put a stop to it. You know how african fathers are, they dont want any type of exposure for their daughters. Now am 33yrs old and dont think i can dance as good as i use to before.Someday when i have a child, i'll make sure they take the lessons.

Ms A get to a dance class and resume dancing. You can still dance. Let your soul fly

I really enjoyed it. Congratulations to all drummers and dancers. I can't imagine how in ancient times this would have felt like wow

They are telling a story trough dance. Every gester means something.go find out.

I love Ghana so much 💖 woo

This is not Adowa, it is actually Kete, notice the special drums they play with the red and black cloth. The atumpan drums are used for Adowa, they are the two drums leaning on the white stand, which are not played in Kete.

This is high art.

This was beautiful !!!🌹🌹🌹. It looks like a courtship dance.

I miss Ghana so much ✨😭🇬🇭

this is the best performance that i have seen of adowa here on youtube!!! thank you for posting this

One needn't stop for another to happen. The Ashantis can dance and build temples at the same time.

Bello !!!!!!!!! Proud Africa Daphne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's Kete dancing. I learned it at the Sankofa Festival in South Philly when the new Queen Mothers were enstooled by Nana Yaa Asantewaa II. I love it!

Beautiful!

No South Sea Island or Cuban Rumba -- straight up Akan/Ashanti!

So what is the meaning behind the dance is it meant for high court or for the people? It seems to be a courtship between lovers but the precision and dexterity looks like it is a dance used to appease the court.

The correct name is Asante! Not Ashanti! Asante is a Hebrew word. Asan', and 'te'.which means 'the smoke is mine' they r descendants of Judea.

No it is "asa" (war) and "nte"(because). It refers to the Asante states joining together against Denkyira to win their independence.
