Ghana is located on the Gulf of Guinea, only a few degrees north of the Equator, therefore giving it a warm climate.
Every aspect of the lives of the people of Ghana is dominated by music, dance and drama that are their media of emotional expression. In happiness or sorrow, Ghanaians burst into music, dance and drama. Music is of three main types – the ethnic or traditional, choral and pop.
Ghana is drained by a large number of streams and rivers. In addition, there are a number of coastal lagoons, the huge man-made Lake Volta, and Lake Bosumtwi, southeast of Kumasi and which has no outlet to the sea.
