Homowo

Homowo is a festival celebrated by Ga people of Ghana. The festival starts in the month of May with the planting of crops before the rainy season starts. During the festival, they perform a dance called Kpanlogo. The Ga people celebrate Homowo in the remembrance of the famine that once happened in their history in precolonial Ghana. Homowo means driving away hunger……Teshie is another Ga town where they also celebrate homowo… While the homowo is going on there is a traditional prayer said to the gods of the land…….

Afi oo Afi
Afi naa akpe wɔ
Afi aya ni eba nina wɔ
Kpaanyɔ anina wɔ
Wɔ fee moomo
Wɔ ye Gbo, wɔ ye Gbiεna
Alonte diŋ ko akafo wɔteŋ
Atswa akpe, wɔ nɔ bε mli
Kpaŋ fεε kpaŋ ni wɔgblaa,
aba shwie wɔ hiε
Kε wɔje bu lε, wɔje nu;
Kε wɔ yε nu wɔ nu lε, wɔ koji anɔ ajɔ wɔ
Ni nyεmi afee nyεmi
Ni wɔsεε afi lε wɔ hi wala mli lolo
Ni wɔsεε afi lε ahi aha wɔ fe nεkε
Jɔɔmɔ, Hewalε, Shweremɔ, Shika, Nɔyaa, Kunimyeli afee wɔ fεε wɔ nɔ!
