The Te Za festival of the Asɔgli State in Ghana is a vibrant celebration filled with rituals and unity. As the clock strikes past three, a palpable energy takes over the town, with sounds of traditional music and the joy of dancing and drumming resonating through the air.
The heart of the festival begins with the sacred Dzawuwu ritual, where the gods and ancestors are offered the season’s first yam, “bakabake,” a symbolic act completed before any living person tastes the new harvest.
Once this rite concludes, a grand procession, led by elder warriors in rhythmic Gankogui beats, weaves through Ho, the regional capital, starting from Bankoe and making its way to Mawuko Girls’ Senior High School park over a span of three hours.
At the center of this moving celebration, a female warrior, crowned with a single yam tuber adorned with nyanya leaves, strides with purpose, representing the prosperity of the harvest.
Chiefs, queen mothers, and the townspeople follow in a vibrant display of culture and community, parading through streets lined with onlookers, eager to witness and celebrate.
