Costumes
The costume
of various dance-drumming starts with the normal attire
of the ethnic group. Very elaborate designs are sometimes
produced for specific dance-drummings. For example, among
the Anlo-Ewe people of southeastern Ghana, dance-drumming
clubs are known to design elaborate costumes for their club
members. Apart from the value of providing a sense of identity,
it also promotes a great sence of in-community spirit.
