Takai

| takai dance |
Takai is one of the oldest drum rhythms of the Dagomba, and the story tells of how they came to be so close to the Mossi tribe. There was a war going on between the Dagomba and Mossi, and a Dagomba woman got lost in the bush and was eventually found by a Mossi hunter. Years later, when there was once again conflict between the Dagomba and Mossi, the woman's history came to light, and because of this connection they halted the fighting. Combined, the drum language for all the parts says "chief says listen, stop the fight."
