Maputo Mensah has created a new centre for the arts in the beautiful Ghanaian coastal village of Kokrobite. This centre is a venue for teaching and preserving West Africa's traditional arts, and provides young people with a place to grow into the next generation of world-class artists. The cultural centre welcomes local and international students, and any artists seeking to infuse their own work with the spirit of Africa. The space Not long ago, the traditional singing, dancing, drumming, and storytelling of Africa were part of its daily life. These arts were not just for beauty or entertainment; they taught values, cooperation, and respect. They were for solace and celebration, and they bonded communities in deep ways. Also not long ago, there were many places in Ghana where children could learn these vital parts of their heritage and perhaps begin artistic careers. In Kokrobite, Ghana, there was the Academy of African Music and Arts, a preeminent destination for local students and international artists alike. It drew large crowds from Accra each weekend for performances. But now AAMA is no more, and there are far fewer places where still-eager children and artists from around the world can come to learn. Maputo Mensah has remedied that in Kokrobite with the Akpe Cultural Centre. His mission is to maintain a vibrant teaching facility, with world-class instruction and first-rate accommodations for visitors. The cultural centre welcomes local and international students, and any artists seeking to infuse their own work with the spirit of Africa. Serene environment with beautifully furnished rooms, hot shower and a standby generator, should the general grid go off. Ideal for families and groups.
