Volta Regional Council of State Representatives Delivers Lecture at University of North Texas

The Volta Regional Representative on the Council of State, H.E. Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple, recently visited the University of North Texas in the United States as a guest speaker to engage with students on the richness of Ghanaian traditional music and dance.

​Speaking to the audience, H.E. Kwamigah-Atokple explored the history, cultural relevance, and economic prospects embedded in Ghana's traditional performing arts. He emphasized the traditional drum's historic role as a vital tool for sending messages, gathering community members, and protecting societies. He also challenged the students to identify innovative methods to preserve and commercialize African heritage in today's digital age.

​The event also offered the Council of State member a platform to connect with Togbui Foli Amanyo III (Prof. Gideon Alorwoyie), a celebrated Ghanaian traditional musician and Professor of Percussion at the university, during one of his interactive teaching sessions.
