People and Places: Klikor Cultural Dance Group

About 80 kilometres southeast of Ho, the Volta Regional capital, lies Klikor, a community renowned for its deep spiritual traditions and vibrant artistic heritage.

At the heart of this cultural landscape stands the Klikor Cultural Dance Group, a living embodiment of rhythm, history and community identity.

The group’s performances are more than entertainment — they are living rituals that preserve the spiritual and social fabric of the community.

Usually dressed in colourful traditional cloth and adorned with beads, members dance to the pulse of ancestral drums, telling stories that bridge the past and present.

Predominantly led by women, the group reflects the central role of women in Klikor’s cultural and spiritual life.

Klikor’s festivals, including the Fiasidi celebration and annual Voodoo and Cultural Music Festival, serve as platforms for showcasing indigenous art, music, and dance.

They also highlight the community’s environmental consciousness, as traditional taboos and sacred groves play key roles in conservation and ecological balance.

The group's artistic expressions include captivating dances like Agbadza, performed during events showcasing talented kids from Klikor.

Traditional rhythms like Dekpetsi also underscore the community's rich musical heritage

Through their drumming, chants and graceful movements, the Klikor Cultural Dance Group continues to uphold a proud legacy.

Their performances not only affirm identity but also project Ghana’s cultural richness onto the global stage.
