Gadzo is a war--dance drama of the Southeastern Anlo-Ewe of Ghana, which came from Notsìe in the Republic of Togo. Originally, this dance-drumming was performed after wars so that the warriors could re-enact battle scenes for those at home. Gadzo is performed presently during ancestral stool festivals, Anlo state festival, Hogbetsotso, funerals of important chiefs and members of the group and by professional and amateur groups for entertainment.

Can Afro-pop join the frey


All African music has that weird wizzy synth :mindblown:

:ld:It does take time to get used to it. Most of the African music scene was developed when the continent was going through alot of economic and political upheavals so most music studios didnt have the finances to purchase the expensive instruments etc. So many just relied on synths as the could be programmed to imitate many instruments and they could create different sounds and they were relatively cheap. Thats my theory anyway. Traditional Ethiopian music usually relied on saxophones and traditional instruments like the Masenqo. Like this kuku sebsebe classic

Its kinda weird that the saxophone got introduced during colonialism but they were never,yknow, colonized themselves. I've never heard of the Masenqo, I'ma read up on that. but interesting hypothesis on the synths.
