Adzido pan african dance ensemble biography books

ABSTRACT Britain is arguably one of the most diverse environments in the world. The diversity of cultures in Britain today could be credited to a significant number of black people particularly African and Caribbean immigrants whose cultural elements including, music, dance, clothing, food, faith and religion have enriched the country.

This paper presents some empirical observations arising from the emergence and reemergence of black dance in Britain focusing on the critical analysis of the formation and operations of Adzido Pan African Dance Ensemble, a Ghanaian traditional dance group whose two decades of operations in Britain has enriched cultural diversity and education in the country.

The paper uses a holistic approach in an interdisciplinary framework drawing on such disciplines as anthropology, sociology, ethnochoreology, ethnomusicology, political science and cultural studies to raise issue
