Ghana, on West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, is celebrated for its kente cloth, historic forts, and the Ashanti kingdom’s legacy. Ghanaians are famous for their hospitality, vibrant festivals, and highlife music. Christianity is the majority faith, but traditional beliefs—like the veneration of ancestors and river spirits—remain strong. Spiritual life is visible in lively church services, drumming, and the spectacular Homowo and Akwasidae festivals.
