National Folklore Board organises ‘Folklore Fun House’ and ‘Night of Folklore’
The National Folklore Board, a body under the Tourism Ministry, has organised a fun-packed day for children and an equally eventful evening programme for Adults.
The event took place at the Accra Mall on Friday, January 7, 2022.
The event was in two parts; the first focused on interacting with children about Ghana’s folklore through folkloric games, folkloric tale characters, poetry, dance and exhibition.
Patrons engaged in several popular Ghanaian Games, including Ludu, Oware, Ampe, Musical Chairs, Sansankroma, and the Ghana puzzle.
The excitement of the young ones who patronised the event was a joy to behold.
The second part, which took place in the evening, was a fun-packed music and poetry night, highlighting Ghana’s folklore’s beauty through music and poetry.
It was a fun and exhilarating moment with the Buoyant Band, Dela Botri, Akah Blay, Nana A. K., Nakyeeat, and The Dzuta Dance Crew who kept patrons on their feet throughout their performances.
Renowned poet, Nana Asaase, who chaired the planning committee, expressed his happiness at the programme’s success and intimated that the event will be organised annually due to its pivotal role in promoting Ghanaian heritage.
In her closing remarks, Immediate Past Acting Director of the Board, Nana Adjoa Adobea Asante, expressed her gratitude to all who supported her during her three-year tenure with the Board.
She expressed special gratitude to her staff and key members of her board. She encouraged all, especially the youth, to take advantage of the many opportunities that our culture and folklore present.
