Cultural Music of the Week - The Ewe People of Ghana Ewe performers     Ewé The Ewé have over 600 deities to turn to in times of need. Many village celebrations and ceremonies take place in honour of one or more deities. Tehy also weave kente cloth, and their more geometrical patterns contain symbolic designs handed down through the ages. The Ewe occupy southeastern Ghana and the southern parts of neighboring Togo and Benin. Most Ewe were farmers who kept some livestock, and there was some craft specialization. On the coast and immediately inland, fishing was important, and local variations in economic activities permitted a great deal of trade between one community and another, carried out chiefly by women  The Ewe of Ghana   Click here for more information on this culture.  Ewe Dancing Movies   This link provides a variety of traditional Ewe dances.   Ewe Dance 1.mpg These students are preforming a traditional Ewe dance.   Ewe Dance 2.mpg Here is another performance.
