Adzida

Ewe · Anlo Ewe / Volta Region · Music/Dance

Adzida is one of the many recreational club dances of the Ewe; Hill notes it is not without spiritual elements, a new club's first performance involving a pre-dawn procession and libation to gods and ancestors. Gbolonyo (2005) lists adzida among Anlo Ewe social and recreational dances (ahiavuiwo). Westermann (1905) records adzidá as the name of a drum.

The village dance club performed Adzida.
