    Africa is a huge continent with more than 50 countries.each country has more than ten tribes, and every tribe has its own traditional marriage.i am from ghana and every tribe has their own tradition.the one you are showing looks like Ashanti tribe,not all ghanains.

      @@gabigebreal7620 It's Eritrean first, then the Ethiopian Habeshas adopted it. Remember Ethiopia is predominantly Cushitic and have very different customs and traditions from Habesha culture. Haile Selassie ruled both countries when he annexed Eritrea into the federation and started misappropriating the Eritrean/Tigray Habesha customs and traditions to the entire Empire while ethnically cleansing Eritreans. Let's be truthful here.
