As a tidbit precursor to an upcoming documentary, the Yenkassa team uses sights and sounds from their visit to the 2019 Ga Homowo festival to bring you the rich and invigorating culture of the Ga people of present-day Accra, Ghana West Africa. All Rights Reserved ©2020-Present . Yenkassa.
Oko and Akweley behind their special table set up for them during the Twins Festival of the Ga people (A tribe located in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana). The table has the horns of the goat specially killed for them for the celebration, a bottle of local alcohol and eggs. Under the table is a bowl which contains specific leaves soaked in water which is later used to cleanse the twins to symbolise fresh birth and renewal of their spirits and more good luck.
The twins Festival precedes the Homowo celebrations. Twins are considered special and a sign of good luck in every home.
