SENYEHA, THE RISING STAR FROM LIKPE

 He was born Sylvester Etsyi Clifford but known in the entertainment circle as Senyeha. He is a singer and a rapper who hails from Likpe- bakwa to be precise. He is very passionate about his singing especially in his local dialect, Likpe and he is gradually gaining grounds.

He furthered that when he was very young, he was part of the Likpe-Bakwa sacred Singers Choir as well as his entire family. 

He left Likpe to join his dad in Cape Coast just so he could school in the year 2011. He had few friends whom he would usually join to have rap battles and rap sessions with and Senyeha admitted that it helped him a lot. He said  "I had few freinds from way back J.H.S and they use to rap. I wanted to join them but I was shy so I one day approached them and told them I could do what they are doing. Well. I was shy a bit because I could not rap in Fante." He furthered that he tried the rap in a mix of languages and they were Ewe, Twi, English and Sekwa (the language spoken by the people of Likpe-Bakwa). He admitted the boys were wowed by what he did and they encouraged him to do more and that was his motivation.

As nature would have it, they went their separate ways when it was time to enter the S.H.S (High School). He recorded a song then. He used to perform back at S.H.S and he was able to record another song called ATANJOFA which made him gain enough recognition to help him gather momentum to move on and keep on his musical career. Back at Bakwa, some friends of his doubted that the song ATANJOFA was his.

As it stands now, Senyeha has a single album, called THE FACE OF THE GODS with 12 songs featured on the album. He aspires to release another album soon. He  now produces his own songs and has his personal record label LUXURY ENTERTAINMENT.




In 2020, Senyeha dropped a song entitled Bakwa as well as some other 25 songs. He admitted he wanted to host a program as many of his folks from Likpe wanted to know the talent behind the banger but things took unfortunate turns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But hopefully, coming 2022, on the 18th of April, Senyeha is set to host his program.

THE KPELE & KLAMA DEITIES OF THE GA-DANGME PEOPLE OF GHANA

Image
INTRODUCTION (stilll under writing by Huniah Tetteh. All rights reserved) The Ga-Dangme people have inhabited the coast of Ghana for over eight (8) centuries. They speak the Ga and the Dangme languages respectively. Ga and Dangme are closely related languages which have diverged over time due to influences from neighbouring Guan, Akan and Ewe languages; not to forget the grand influence of English, Dutch and Portuguese on these two beautiful languages. Kpele  is the main religion of the Ga-Dangme people. There is the annual celebration of Kpele which is called  Kpelejoo  in Ga and  Kpele domi  in Dangme and they mean the same thing. During Kpelejoo or Kpele domi, spirits are called upon to descend so as to celebrate the end of the year  with mankind. This would definitely come as a shock to you so, we would now take our time to explain vividly, the concept of Kpele and its significance to the Ga-Dangme ethnic group of Ghana and Togo. In the Ga and the Dangme languages, Kpele come

THE COMPLETE LIST OF LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN GHANA

  During my Ghana tour, in writing the book, KNOW GHANA BETTER , I had encounters with several different languages and I thought it wise to share with you all since it may be very necessary. But mind you, this article is copyright protected so please, do not extract this information for selfish gains without seeking permission from the author of the book  KNOW   GHANA   BETTER and the administrator of these Youtube channels, Huniah-Yourhighness Tv and LEARN GUAN WITH HUNIAH. Now, the total list of languages could be debatable for the fact that there are dialects within languages and some dialects could be seperate languages on their own. Thus, in this writeup, I only present the raw facts as I have found them and it is up to the reader to make his/her own judgements. Greater-Accra Region 1. Ga 2. Dangme (dialects: Klogbi (Krobo), Gbugblã (Prampram), Ada gbi) Cental Region 3. Fante (dialects: Gomoa, Agona, T'di Fante, Wassa) 4. Efutu (dialects: Senya, Simpa) 5. Awutu Western  &a

COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE GUAN PEOPLE AND THEIR LANGUAGES

Image
THE GUANS (This article is directly soucred from my book: Know Ghana Better) The Guans believe themselves to be a subgroup of the Akan tribe (not all of the Guans though). They migrated from Egypt and through several linguistic zones got to Mali. Their territory extended from parts of present day Mali to present day Senegal. They formed clans and the clans were Ndenye, Shuoyi and Le. The clans were formed for purposes of defence and for other linguistic and cultural functions. After some years, a group of Guans who were at present-day Senegal and members of the Shuoyi clan called the Ngbanye set off to Ghana. Perhaps there was a pre-meditated decision by the Ngbanye and the other Guans to find a more suitable settlement. It is also believed that the leader of the Ngbanye sought the assistance of a soothsayer who foretold him that he will be great in a foreign land. This perhaps prompted him to migrate with his people. All the other Guan groups later followed after the Ngbanye had lef

THE FORGOTTEN GUANS OF GHANA

Image
Guans are one of the widely spread ethnic groups in Ghana. They were mostly known as the Etsiifo, at least, the Fantes called them so. The Fantes said that they came to meet them at  the coastal areas of Ghana. Well, Etsiifo could not only refer to the coastal Guans, that is, the Awutu, Efutu, Krakye, Larteh etc. but then, a rather linguistically diversed group who could have also once occupied the coasts of Ghana.  Those would be the Nyagbo, Tafi and Asebu (who later amalgamated with the Ahantas in the present day Western Region and the remaining Asebu  group would later migrate to Bowire, a town in the Oti Region to amalgamate with the Kpokpaase-Ofo to form the Bowire tribe.) This development has led the Nyagbo, Tafi and Bowire to be referred to as Guans but it is not so. They are at the moment a unique linguistic group called the Ghana-Togo Mountain Languages of which, these Guans, Likpe and Buem, have also amalgamated with them.  To further clarify, indeed the Guans could have o
