The Akan tradition is the traditional culture and religion of the
people of Ghana, West Africa.

Correction, The Akan tradtion is the traditional culture and "religion" of the people of the Akan speaking language in Ghana,not the people of Ghana.

 

[ibrahim]

The Akan language comprises of many tribes in Ghana and together they make up a large majority of the southern people in Ghana.

Yes, I know that - I made an error in the post - it should have said , "of the Akan people of Ghana", and that means those that follow the path of the bosum, (also including the variations, such as diiferent methods of rites, etc...)
