Ghanaian culture diversity

On the coast of gold(Ghana) where ethnic cultures intertwines like glittering and colourful 'bonwire' kente A vibrant tapestry of diversity divine. Starting from the South where the powerful Ashanti real heritage Tracing to the Fante coastal tales of the sea Across the Nzema fishing net cast upon the tides To the Ewe's rhythmic abadza And the atumpan of the Ashanti's that echoes And rejoices to the dance adowa beating the soil. Oh Ghana's culture, beacon of our pride A tool for democratic thrive The history and festivals like aboakyir, Samba and Kundum stirs our spirit as the gleaming star of the east forces the earth to revolve around it Ghanaian culture beauty blooms as democracy prevails within us For Warrior King's culture, a tool we wield to build a generation graced with autonomy indeed. The Black Volta spreads walks majestically as autonomy and democracy spreads it's wings The symphony of highlife and Sankofa the mythical bird of the acient trumpet proverbs of those days For it is not just the taste of our abunuabunu or the gold that adorn our neck that makes us take our stance But Remember diversity of our culture Warrior King's in diversity In defence shall we fight and perish to bring the eagle full of might Our culture unite Our culture our voice Our culture transforms and clear every blurrish sight Let us all come together and celebrate Ghanaian culture the Genesis and revelation of democracy. Thank you
