Experience Traditional Music, Dance and Culture

Lessons, workshops and cultural encounters at Kwaabuette in Accra

The Kwaabuette School of African Music and Dance, located in Osu, Accra, welcomes people from Ghana and around the world to discover the rich diversity of traditional Ghanaian music and dance.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen die musikalischen Traditionen der Ga und Ewe, die das kulturelle Leben in Accra und der Region prägen. Darüber hinaus vermitteln wir Musik und Tänze weiterer ghanaischer Volksgruppen, darunter Akan, Fante, Asante und Dagomba.

Drumming, Rhythms and Dance

From Kpanlogo, Gome, Agbadza, Gahu and Kete to many other traditional rhythms and dances, Kwaabuette offers opportunities for beginners and experienced participants to learn, play and dance together.

Lessons include a variety of traditional instruments such as Kpanlogo drums (similar to congas), Gome, Atsimevu, Sogo, Kidi, Kaganu, bells and rattles. The djembe, widely played across West Africa, is also part of our musical programme.

Depending on the instrument and musical tradition, drums are played with the hands, with sticks or with a combination of both.

Discovering Traditional Culture

Kwaabuette is more than a music and dance school. Visitors can also gain insights into the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Ga people, including customs, festivals, rituals, prayers and the importance of music and dance in community life.

Join Us and Get in Touch

We offer individual music and dance lessons, group workshops, cultural encounters and opportunities to make music together.
