The Catholic church in Jema, the district capital of South Kintampo, hosted a service for the local Dagaaba population who migrated from the north and now form a sizable minority in the nearby villages. Catholicism is strong in the north of Ghana since the first missions. The people sang songs in their language to the rhythm of drums and this xylophone of wood and calabashes. A joyous experience to hear the women ululating and everyone enthusiastically dancing and waving their handkerchiefs.
