  • The Volta Region is a culturally rich and diverse part of the Asogli State of Ghana, West Africa. The region is multi-ethnic and multi-lingual, including groups such as the Ewe, Guan and Akan peoples.
    Each September the people celebrate the Yam, or Te Za (Ewe) Festival. The festival is a cultural celebration featuring music, dancing and feasting.
    King Togbe Afede XIV, paramount chief and president of the Ghanaian House of Chiefs presides over the festival.

      Please, Volta is the name of an Italian who was the first man to determine the calculation of electricity current known as voltage - named after his name Volta.
      We're not children of an Italian nor are we children of Adam and Eve.
      And yes, we are not even Ewe - female sheep.
      And yes of cause I know you know who you are.

      Hi Ezra, Generally I license my clips and shots for a fee. Which clips would you like to license and what is your intended use?

    Thank you very much! I love the people the Ewe culture, but I will like to hear people singing the drums Atumpani, Bobobor and the church choir better than the music you played with the whole thing!!!

    So for all the beautiful beaches and mountains in the Volta Region , you could only see children and old women walking on streets and goal pens to show in your video. I pity you.

      Hi Christopher. Thank you for commenting on our video. I'm sorry you were disappointed. You're right, the Volta Region has some spectacular scenery, beautiful mountains and beaches. However, I believe you entirely missed the point of this video. It was not about the scenery. It was about the people. The people of the Volta region are amazing. Their festivals are delightful. Their traditions and culture are worth preserving. I'm surprised by your negativity in missing the beauty of the culture, traditions and people. I wish you the very best in your endeavors and will smile when I consider that you have pity for me.

      Thanks for watching. I'm not quite sure what you mean by your comment, though.
