Many Africans both within and beyond the continent are very religious. Their belief in God, the omnicient and omnipotent is beyond desription. One of the ways that the Akan people of Ghana worship God through their own cultural perspective is called AKOM. This and other cultural practices is resurfacing in the Americas thanks to the pioneering role of the late Okomfohene and Omanhene Nana Yaw Opare Dinizulu I. This video is a footage of the Nana Asuo Gyebi Akomkese held annualy by the OBAATANPA House of Hope International Ministry Inc at the International African Arts festival in Brooklyn.
This is a documentation project of the International Centre for African Culture & Arts.
