Accra /əˈkrɑː/ is the capital and largest city of Ghana, with an estimated urban population of 2.27 million as of 2012.
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.
They call Ghana “Africa for beginners”, which in many ways is quite the compliment. It’s a friendly and largely safe country, with a list of enticements as long as an Accra traffic jam: for a start, you’ll find sunshine, beaches, wildlife, national parks and a deeply colourful cultural heritage. The long tropical coastline is in some ways the most natural draw card for travellers, but you’re unlikely to come to Ghana for the sole purpose of lying on a beach. There’s too much going on for that.
