To promote traditional music and dance, the well-known cultural group, Adesa Taloi Cultural Group has hosted training workshop in Accra for a select group of disabled people.
The group has already shared its wealth of expertise with young, active groups around Ghana.
At the training program, more than forty disabled had the chance to learn West African dance, drumming, and singing, among other things.
The workshop is a component of the group’s goal, which also involves using performances and workshops to teach Ghanaians the value and respect of their culture and customs.
The participants were given the opportunity to perform with some of the traditional instruments while others danced to the melodious drum beats.
The workshop dubbed “The Adesa Taloi Skills Workshop,” exposed participants to a variety of Ghanaian dancing forms, such as Kpanlogo, Adowa, and Kete.
Among other things, it explored traditional African dance and its relationship to contemporary dance, stage performance skills and techniques, and traditional dance as a universal language.
Interacting with the participants, the Adesa Taloi Cultural Group members gave them a briefing on their experiences in Ghana.
The participants cheered the group on as they performed a number of traditional dance pieces earlier.
With its unique takes on both traditional and modern dance routines, the Adesa Cultural Group has delighted audiences across the nation for the past few years.
One of the group’s objectives, according to the management, is to assist young people, especially the disabled, in discovering their skills so they can go on to find employment.
The group claims that promoting and appreciating Ghanaian music, dance, and culture can help educate people who are ignorant of Ghana’s true history and culture in a number of ways
