Stageshakers! Ohia Ma Adwendwen (Use Your Gumption!)

Four stories of resourcefulness from the lives of itinerant performers in Ghana's concert party tradition, intercut with a performance of Kakaiku's hit song, Ohia Ma Adwendwen, and footage of the Christmas season pole climbers in Abosso, Western Region. This video is a companion to the documentary Stageshakers! Ghana's Concert Party Traveling Theatre, and features stories by Jimmy Narkwa, Y.B. Bampoe, and Adom Oppong. The musical performance is by members of Kakaiku's Band, led by Moses Oppong, Kakaiku Jr. (more below)

What’s the name of this band?

[@kwamebruno]

These are members of Kakaiku's Band, led by Moses Oppong Jr., Kakaiku's son. The woman with them is his sister, Adom. This video was shot in Abosso at the very end of 1994. Moses and Odom very kindly gathered up local members of the band to perform a number of their father's hit songs from the 1950s & 60s, for my documentary on the Concert Party, called Stageshakers!
