Ghana: Kakatsitsi



Kakatsitsi from Accra perform at Midsummer Festival in Hertfordshire UK.

Kakatsitsi are a group of traditional drummers, dancers and singers from the Ga people of Southern Ghana, with their roots in the fishing community of Jamestown. Their music takes traditional rhythms and chants from their own Ga tradition, rearranging them with influences of a variety of other West African cultures. The recent addition of a strong dance element, to complement the already outstanding drumming and singing components promises an evening full of energy, movement and rhythm.
