  • Welcome to Kumasi, Ghana. This city is known as the cultural capital of Ghana.
    It was once the capital of the Ashanti Empire, but although the empire no longer exists, many of its traditions live on in the local cuisine and culture.

    • Traveling to West Afri...
    In this documentary, we’re exploring Kumasi’s artisanal culture, including its wood carvers, weavers, and craft vendors, who sell everything from handmade masks to beautiful kente cloth in local villages like Adanwomase and Ahwiaa.
    I’m also taking you deep into Kejetia Market, the largest market in West Africa, and trying mouthwatering favorites like fufu, egusi, and etor, and more exotic fare like giant snails and roasted mealworms.
    It’s going to be a wild ride, and I’m excited for you to join me. So come with me as we explore the beauty and culture of Kumasi, Ghana.

    Thanks a lot David 🙏🏾for visiting Kumasi, I had to make eto today in 🇬🇧 cuz I was immediately craving it; although it’s not as good as what you had. When I was in 🇬🇭 we didn’t value how rich our food was until travelling abroad to find out it’s organic and expensive elsewhere. Missing home now🫶🏽🇬🇭✊🏾

    Well, hello Blondie. Kumasi turned out to be very adventurous with so many people and trying to navigate yourself throughout the markets, the streets, the traffic and the people themselves. All the food looked delicious, but for me, too greasy. A lot of starch and carbohydrates. Food is sustenance, so they really make good use of what's available and what they grow and produce themselves. Loved seeing the arts and crafts and how they are made: very interesting how the dye is made too. Those guys who were weaving were so fast, I would still be just getting started🤣🤣🤣. Anyway, I will give you all thumbs and two big toes up for this one😂😂😂. I always compliment you on your editing and continuity and you didn't disappoint. Only criticism is that you should always try to pick music suitable to the country/island or places you visit. Other than that, very well done. I really love your in-office opening intro to the videos. I am looking forward to what's next. 🙏💛🤗🇹🇹🇨🇦 BTW, for a Blondie, you fit right in with the people, like your brothers and sisters. Very nice.🤗

    Mr. David I was in the hospital again and when I came out I had to watch this video again!
    This is such a nice and informative video!
    I can get away from my horrible health problems and visit this awesome place!
    Thank you Sir! It's so interesting to see how these people work to survive!
    You are an amazing person!
    I love this. I made a visit for my 3rd time.
    Right from my hospital bed! I don't know why this video is so special to me. I've watched a lot of your videos, but this one speaks to me.
    By the way I am left handed, would I have a problem if I ever did visit?
    I love the weaving center.
    I know I am in poor health but I should not complain! All these people are smiling and are so nice! I wish I had money to buy some of the weaving! I love their skill
    They work in a lot of heat and they take their culture very serious and with all that heat they don't complain! I feel bad for complaining! The stamps are awesome!
    I'm sorry this is so long, but this brings me to tears every time I watch it.
    Thank you again Sir. I can watch this a thousand times and never get tired of watching.
    I would love to support them! To have their hard work in my living room would be awesome! In the heat they always give you a smile! I LOVE HEARING THE HISTORY OF WEAVING!
    ONE DAY! ONE DAY! UNTIL THAT DAY WHEN I CAN VISIT I WILL HEAR THEIR STORY AND WATCH THE SKILLS OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN!
    I WILL WATCH THE MEN, LEARN, CRY AND STAY AND BE IN AMAZEMENT!
    OKAY I WILL STOP NOW!😘
    👑 QUEEN A.K.A.MISTY 👑
    P.S. My stroke took my feet and left side function away from me!& My speech is very bad! BUT Look at the story that is put with no words in the weaving!🙏🥰🙋

      Your message truly touched me. I can see how much the video means to you and how it brings joy during difficult times in the hospital. Your enthusiasm for the place and its people shines through your words. The video's portrayal of resilience and dedication is a big part of the message. Your positive attitude despite health challenges shows your strength and courage. Your desire to support the weaving center and its skilled artisans is amazing too.
      If you ever get a chance to visit, being left-handed wouldn't be a problem. All are welcome to experience the beauty and culture of such places.
      Your determination to visit one day is inspiring. Until then, I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying the video and its heartwarming stories. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Your positivity is infectious. May you find strength in the weaving center's story. Warmest wishes and virtual hugs as you navigate your challenges, we will be thinking of you Queen/Misty!

    Good content, David
    However, please be informed that any food eaten with soup is swallowed not chewed; hence, you shouldn't have chewed the fufu or kokonte with meat. Kokonte like fufu is eaten with soup not stew as you said
    Therefore, you swallow the kokonte/fufu and chew the meat separately afterwards

    Hello David, have made your research very well before calling kumasi Market the biggest in west Africa, go and Google it Onitsha main Market in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is the biggest 👌 in west Africa if not the whole Africa! Even Ghanaians come there to buy goods thanks. Go and verify.....
