Festivals have been the surest means to impart unto the younger generation, the cultural heritage of a group of people.
The annual practice has helped shape the minds of the younger ones, where history is presented in a more tangible way to contemporary minds.
As part of Onua TV/FM’s Sankofa Festival Train, the Maakye team is at Lenobinya at Big Ada in the Greater Accra region to take full coverage of the 2023 Asafotufiami.
