Concert Party ! The Ghanaian Concert Party is a traveling show of music, comedy and art that has historically inspired many of Ghana's cultural traditions.
Daniel Walter spent time traveling with one of the few remaining concert parties. Today there are less than a handful who still "trek," a significant decrease from the 50-60 that traveled the country during the 60s.
