In this video, I explain the significance of Homowo, the festival celebrated by the Ga people in Ghana.

It represents remembrance, unity, and the richness of Ghanaian cultural heritage.

The Homowo Festival is one of Ghana’s most historic and vibrant cultural celebrations, held annually by the Ga people of Accra. The word Homowo means “hooting at hunger” — a symbolic reminder of how the Ga ancestors overcame famine through resilience, unity, and bountiful harvests.

During Homowo, chiefs, elders, and communities gather to sprinkle Kpokpoi (Kpekple), the sacred festival dish made from fermented corn and palm oil, in remembrance of the famine and in thanksgiving for abundance. The festival is filled with traditional drumming, dancing, processions, and the firing of muskets, making it one of the most colorful events in Ghana’s cultural calendar.
