Yendi came alive on Monday when the newly enskinned Yaa-Naa, Abukari Mahama hosted patrons of the Heritage Caravan at the Gbewa Palace.
It was a colourful durbar of many remarkable cultural display.
Yaa Naa Abukari Mahama II welcomed the team with kola nuts which signify his acceptance of their visit.
If you think Borborbor, Adowa and Kpanlogo were the only vibrant dances in Ghana then you are wrong because the Damba, Bamaaya, Takai, and Billa dances are close competitors.
These dances which are components of the rich Dagbon heritage were showcased at the durbar.
Patrons on the Heritage Caravan joined the dance warriors for some lessons.
The Yaa Naa joined patrons as they danced to the vibrant transitional tunes of the Dagbon people.
The Heritage Caravan’s aim was to pay homage to the overlord of the Dagbon state.
The team was led by Citi FM and Citi TV‘s Chief Executive Officer, Samuel Attah-Mensah who is also sub-chief in Tamale with the name, Malizali Naa.
Citi FM and Citi TV‘s General Manager Bernard Avle was also around.
The visit to the Gbewaa Palace was to pay homage to the overlord of the Dagbon Kingdom and also to learn about the heritage of the Dagbon people.
