Biography of The Salaka Ensemble

The Salaka Ensemble of Ghana was formed by Master Drummer Tuza in Nungua, Ghana in the mid 1990's - when the member were young teenagers. The name Salaka means "Sharing" and the aim of the group is to share the traditional rhythms and music of Ghana with the younger generations to preserve Ghana's musical heritage.

Salaka quickly grew into an exciting display of culture, performing at festivals and special events in Ghana including for the President. Salaka have won numerous drumming compeitions and were chosen to lead Ghana's 50th independence anniversary celebrations at Black Star Square in the capital, Accra.

Many of Salaka's members now support their families through their music, making their parents proud.

Salaka are involved in the annual "Rhythm Power" tour run by EkomeTours every January. The members of Salaka teach visiting tourists drumming and dancing on the sands of Coco beach.
