HOMOWO IN JAMES TOWN (BRITISH ACCRA)

Homowo is the Festival of the Ga people on the coast of Accra, the capital of Ghana. Homowo literally means "Hooting at Hunger". Food is a vital part of the ceremony and the entire ceremony a real spectacle to behold. It is celebrated on different dates among the Ga communities. I witnessed the Jamestown "version". Enjoy the ride..

One of the Chiefs sprinkling Kpokpoi, the traditional food for the season.

Kpokpoi in all its glory. It is served with palm nut soup.
No one can deny this beautiful ladies the joy of the season. Joy unlimited..


Others ensured there was something to laugh about.

Do not miss it next year.
