Gahu Dance-Drumming (Anlo-Ewe people of Ghana, West Africa) By CK Ladzekpo Gahu [gah-hü] is a popular secular dance-drumming among the Anlo-Ewe people of southeastern Ghana. It originated among the Gun-Gbe (gön-bã) people of Ketornu in Benin. The Gun-Gbe people later introduced it in Badagry, southwestern Nigeria, where migrant fishermen from Afiadenyigba adapted it and brought it back to the Anlo-Ewe area where I grew up. Whether in Benin, Nigeria or Ghana, Gahu is a popular communal entertainment performed whenever the community finds the excuse to celebrate life such as weddings, funerals and other formal celebrations. Gahu is a living tradition. Even in its birthplace of Ketornu, it continues to reinvent itself. In Badagry in southwestern Nigeria, there was recasting of the old ideas of Gahu in a contemporary version with a spirit and style of its own. As migrant fishermen from Afiadenyigba adapted Gahu from the version they witnessed in Badagry, they reinvented it to fit an Anlo-Ewe taste. The Gahu that we do is based on the version adapted by the Lashibi community of Anyako. The following is my eyewitness account of how this version of Gahu evolved. Gahu arrived at my hometown, Anyako very early in the morning. The year was 1952. I was twelve years old. The early morning quite in the village was interrupted by the hard throbbing sound of Gahu. Visitors from Afiadenyigba were performing the customary Nudi√u (ñou-divwoo), or morning teaser, to wet the appetite of their hosts. The whole town was aglow. Many missed performing their usual morning chores and rushed to woeto (way-tow) or woe (way) community to witness history in the making. We had heard of this phenomenal dance drumming brought to the town of Afiadenyigba by migrant fishermen who returned from Nigeria. We had heard about its fascinating new rhythms, dance forms, costumes and songs in a strange language for some time. Giving family and the community ashimenue, a gift upon a return from a trip, is an important Anlo-Ewe custom. The ashimenuewo* (plural∗) are highly appreciated if they are indigenous of the area of the visit. Gahu was a fitting ashimenue for the community of Afiadenyigba from the exotic land of Badagry. Afiadenyigba is east north east of Anyako. Both towns are among a cluster of settlements that forms the Keta lagoon basin of the Anlo-Ewe traditional state. The Woe community of Anyako invited the Gahu club from Afiadenyigba as part of funeral ritual observances. The Nudi√u performance ended at around ten o’clock in the morning and was simply magical. From the reactions of my hometown folks, they really dig what they experienced. We the kids showed our appreciation by accompanying the visitors with admiration when they took a break for refreshments before the main performance in the afternoon. * In the Ewe language, adding the suffix “wo” to a noun makes it plural 1 Instrumentation: The instrumentation of Gahu by the visiting Afiadenyigba community was very interesting. In √utsOtsoe (vu-tso-tswe), the main dance drumming session, they featured two Boba drums; one playing lead using two sticks and sometimes with two bare hands and the other was playing support adlibbing on the texture of the drum melody with two bare hands technique. There was sogo, kidi and kagaNu as support drums. Sogo occasionally would take over lead and direct the choreography with short climactic passages drawn from Kinka, another popular secular dance drumming. One Gankogui (gãn-ko-gwi) and a couple of axatsewo (a-ha-tse-wo) provided the critical metronomic layer. In hatsiatsia (ha-cha-cha), or song interlude, two atokewo (a-tow-kay), boat shaped bells, provided the metronomic layer in a gamamla (bell ensemble) that featured many gaNkoguiwo (plural) in improvised bell patterns that interlocked in a polyrhythmic energy that flavored the melody of the songs in a very effective and dynamic manner. Theatrical Form: Gahu was described as a social dance drumming. The dancers/singers formed a circle around the drummers and moved in a counter clockwise direction. With the exception of the boba players, the musicians sat on armless chairs and benches. There was a basic movement as the home base and a repertoire of atsiawo (a-chã-wo), or climactic movements, each with an appropriate √ugbe [vwoo-gbe] (drum episode). The lead drums (boba and occasionally sogo) used the √ugbewo to conduct the choreography. Each episode has a beginning, middle and an end making it easy for it to be introduced and conveniently return to the common home movement. VetrO√u [îyeh-trö-vu] (Afternoon Performance) The splendor of the VetrO√u or afternoon performance started around one o’clock. The costumes were spectacular and quite revolutionary to Anlo-Ewe tradition. It featured agbada, popular Gun-Gbe traditional attire in many bright colors as the primary base. Agbada attire is also common among the Yoruba of Nigeria. The western culture was also elaborately featured in the form of shoes and eyeglasses. The fusion of cultures in the costuming was breathtaking. For about an hour, the visitors performed the traditional protocol by visiting some of the other communities in Anyako. There is a laid down route for this important courtesy call. The group would stop at designated spaces in each community to perform short selection of songs. In addition to drawing more audience for their performance, these courtesy call exhibitions are traditional symbols of respect for the host communities. The group arrived at the performance plaza around two o’clock and performed until dusk. It was a memorable afternoon as the whole town was treated to a phenomenal rendition of Gahu touching off what I can only describe as a Gahu craze. 2 The Woe community of Anyako immediately adapted Gahu into their repertoire based on the Afiadenyigba version they had witnessed. In the Lashibi community, two young men in middle school, Kpeglo Kofi Ladzekpo and Alfred Kwasi Ladzekpo also started a game of playing Gahu in the evenings after dinner. Their efforts and innovation attracted the attention of some elders of the community who joined them and provided the leadership needed to start a full-blown adaptation of Gahu. According to Anlo-Ewe traditional practices, evening song rehearsals known as hakpa started in earnest. During mock performances in the evenings, choreography and the unique drumming was integrated with songs and evaluated. When an acceptable blend was achieved, a delegation was requested from the Afiadenyigba Gahu club to seek help and approval. Afiadenyigba Gahu club sent a six-member delegation that participated in several mock performances and approved the innovations made by the Lashibi Gahu club. The innovations included the introduction of a new sogo basic pattern. A second kidi was added playing a counter rhythm to the first kidi pattern in a call and response mode. (See music transcription). The instrumental ensemble of the Lashibi Gahu club included one boba (lead), one sogo, two kidiwo (plural), and one kagaNu as support drums. Several gaNkoguiwo (plural), and axatsewo (plural) completed the instrumental ensemble. Gbedziyiyi [ba-dji-yi-yi] (Formal Coming-Out Festivities) In Anlo-Ewe custom, a new dance-drumming becomes part of the community repertoire after going through gbedziyiyi, a formal coming-out festival. It is the debut performance of a new dance-drumming in public. The gbedziyiyi festivities for the new Gahu started before dawn. Members of the Gahu club retreated quietly from the village to the sacred Kleve forest located at west north west of Anyako. This was during a drought season when the Keta lagoon was dried up and it was possible to make the journey on foot instead of shuttle by canoe. The first order of business at the Kleve forest was the pouring of libation invoking the gods and ancestors to bless and witness the historic event about to unfold. This was followed by the election of the official leadership of the club and the confirmation of the governing rules and regulations of the new club. Procedures and formations of the procession to the village were rehearsed. The dancers/singers led the procession in a four-line platoon-like formation. The drums (boba, sogo and kidi) were carried on the heads of some courageous women with the drummers walking in a convenient playing position. The KagaNu player supported his drum under his armpit while gaNkogui and axatse players carried their own instruments and lined up in front of the drum ensemble. The elders form the rear of the procession. At the first appearance of daylight, the procession started towards the village. The mile long journey into the village was filled with tireless and intense dancing, singing and drumming. In great community spirit each member of the club made lively contributions, as was expected of them. 3 Welcomed heroically into the village, Gahu had fulfilled its traditional requirements and became an honored member of the repertoire of the Lashibi community. These requirements included public performances for seven consecutive days. The triumph of adding to the creative treasures of the traditional community is a feeling I will never forget. Because members of the Anyako Lashibi Community are the pioneers of teaching and performing traditional Anlo-Ewe music and dance nationally and internationally in modern classrooms and concert stages, this version of Gahu is the model of instruction and performance throughout the world. Prominent among these pioneering personalities are Husunu Adonu Afadi Ladzekpo (deceased), Kobla Ladzekpo (CAL Arts/UCLA, USA)), Kofi Kpeglo Ladzekpo (retired, Ghana), Alfred Ladzekpo (CAL Arts, USA), CK Ladzekpo (UC Berkeley, USA) and Kwaku Ladzekpo (retired, USA). 4 Gahu A West African Social Dance-Drumming Gahu Support Instruments Basic Parts Gankogui ÷ 44 œ .
