Now who doesn't love the pomp and pageantry of festivals? Well it's not any different in Ghana when it comes to the annual Damba festival. It brings people aligned to the traditional kingdom together to reflect on their origin and how to confront social challenges.

It's considered the most widely celebrated in the northern part of the country. DW's Maxwell Suuk joined the climax of the celebration in Nalerigu
