Bawa
In old times Bawa would lead a chief to a durbor. Flutes and women’s voices would sometimes accompany the drumming. Today Bawa is one of the main forms of recreational music and dance in Nandom, located in the upper west region of Ghana. Its development owes much to Polkuu Paul, who was from the house of the Nandom chief (Naa). This dance has grown out of a traditional ritual dance, Sebkper, since the 1950s with each choreographer personalizing it so that it is not just a copy of what has been done elsewhere.

Ghanaian Xylophone Music (Gyil)
Only men traditionally play the xylophone in Ghana. Xylophones can be played solo, but are also frequently played in pairs (male and female).
