Here are some video clips from each of day of activities during the 2015 Damba Festival (January 1-3). I’ve also posted an article with details about the festival and photos.
Day One
On day one, the highlight was the various ethnic groups (Mamprusi, Bimoba, Frafra, etc…) presenting their unique dances.
Day Two
The central piece of festival came on the second day when the NaYiri’s chief drummer, accompanied by a phalanx of royal drummers (lunsi), sang through the names of past kings and priest chiefs.1
Day Three
The final day was actually just a continuation of day two’s festivities. Revelers danced the night away until the NaYiri emerged with his entourage at sunrise. Each of the royals were then coaxed out to dance one by one until the NaYiri finally returned into his palace after about two hours.
