Babs Mohammed

Babs will be playing the Djembe drum and telling a story about the Takia dance or Naabewu. The Takia dance originated in West Africa in the northern part of Ghana, Tamale. It is the happiest dance. When a new King or Chief has been elected, a group of Takia dancers perform this dance to honor the King. This dance is also performed at weddings and for newborns. It is a happy dance for every occasion in Dagomba tribe culture!
