Over Thousands Converge To Grace 2023 Atopa Festival

More than 3,000 people joined the Effutu community to commemorate the conclusion of the 2023 Aboakyer Festival with the Akosolontoba dance, also referred to as the Atopa dance.

Nananom will either travel in a palanquin or line up in single file during the annual festival.

Men can be seen swaying their hips behind women during the performance, demonstrating the distinct culture of Effutu.

According to Nananom, the cultural performance allows unmarried people to participate and also allows some men to express their attraction to women.
