This is made primarily of cotton and includes colorful patterns, primarily lining. The people of this town are economically progressive and known for being social. They usually participate in all the ceremonies that are celebrated in Ghana. Most often, they are seen at funeral ceremonies that last several days and consume a large fraction of the family budget. Weaving, wood carving, pottery and metallurgy of the Ashanti tribe are also very popular.

They are popular for Kente cloth, fishing, and beautiful crafts, while some people raise livestock as well. This provides prosperous business opportunities for the Ewe people.

The Guan people are believed to have migrated from the Burkina Faso region around 1000 AD. They are settled on the coastal plains of Ghana, as do the Fanti tribe.
The Mole-Dagbani people are predominantly Muslim and concentrated in the northern regions of Ghana. These people speak five different languages. The Gurma tribe also belongs to the Gur language family as the Mole-Dagbani. They are settled in northern Volta of Ghana.
Ghanaians speak seven languages which are Twi, Fante, Ga, Hausa, Dagbani, Ewe and Nzema. English remains the national language. Twi is spoken by the Akan tribes and is believed to be the most developed of all. The country has the highest population of Christians followed by traditional African religions. Islam is followed by 15% of the population.
Ghanaian cuisine mainly included soup. The most popular soups are light, palm kernel, and peanut soups.
