Ashanti is a traditional Ghanaian drum and dance group that also performs world beat (Hi-life Music, Sukuf, Soca, Calypso, Reggae, Funk and Blues). Members of the group hail from Ghana, Kenya, Sudan and the United States. The 90-minute performance (with 15-minute intermission) is spiced with narrative about the culture and traditions of various African nations.
