Accra

The culture

Why we bridge here

Accra is the African city most diaspora travelers arrive in first, and it absorbs them fast: Atlantic beaches, a loud and welcoming night scene, and the pan-African history of independence in every street name.

Ghanaian hospitality runs on music, argument and food, usually at once. Highlife and azonto came from here, Adinkra symbols carry whole proverbs, and the Ga people whose land Accra sits on still celebrate Homowo with drumming that shakes the ground.
