"Bamaya" means "the river valley is wet" in the Dagbani language and the dance is generally associated with the celebration of good harvests. It’s performed with drums , flute and also with singing. This popular dance is performed in festivals, weddings, funerals, and other social events, connecting young generations with their cultural heritage and becoming a tool to promote peace in the area.
Got the opportunity to go to TAMALE to study from Mohammed Mudasir and Stephen Mensah. They taught me the breakdown of the dance and the techniques involved in dancing this dance. Learnt it from roots level listening to the drum and not in a choreographic sequence. Thanks to everyone involved in the journey.
