Tribute to the Ashanti King sent on December 15, 2019 (14:38) by Devil50. 2 comments, 277 views.

I dignitari arrivano a poco a poco, sedendosi sotto grandi ombrelli dai mille colori. Indossano, a mò di toga romana, raffinati abiti realizzati con i pregiati tessuti kente e vistosi anelli e bracciali in oro. Siamo a Kumasi, in Ghana, nel cuore della terra ashanti. Un mondo antico che sopravvive inalterato all'interno di un altro mondo, un regno dentro una repubblica. il giorno dell'Akwasidae, la solenne festa che ritma, ogni 42 giorni, i nove cicli del calendario tradizionale. Mentre nel Palazzo reale la cerimonia privata è già in corso, nell'area antistante ci si prepara al passaggio del re. I ritmi dei tamburi e i suoni dei corni si fanno sempre più incalzanti finché, in un tripudio di note e colori, il corteo dell'Asantehene, il sovrano ashanti, invade festoso la piazza. Suonatori e personaggi con in testa gli oggetti più curiosi, dignitari con il copricapo a ventaglio in piume di struzzo oppure in pelle ricoperto da lamine d'oro. E ancora antichi fucili, bastoni dalle splendide impugnature... L'occhio non sa più dove guardare, lo spettacolo è straordinario. Il re, dalla sua portantina posta sotto un enorme parasole, saluta la folla esultante ornato di massicci gioielli, per poi andare a sedersi sul trono, circondato da nobili, ministri, sacerdoti. Davanti a lui un corridoio formato da due ali di cortigiani. Sfilano i capi, venuti da tutto il territorio ashanti, inchinandosi in segno di sottomissione.

Last November, the Togolese guide, who had collected us since Lome', surprised me and the other 11 companions of various nationalities (Europe and Canada), making us go to give gifts with an official speaker who presented us, I would say as a group but obviously did not understand a word.
I would like to retrieve the video, at least of one or three local televisionstations present, will be aired who knows where :-P
A greeting ;-)
