The Azonto Dancers

Electrified by the tunes of the game
The rhythm engineered by their ancestors
Flavored to suit the taste of the youth
Moving their hands across the regions of their flesh

Pivoting to propagate the message of peace
Touched by the flow of the lines
Lining up at the crossroads
In readiness they hand signal

The culture of their roots:
The ancestral legacy buried in their blood
I, not trying to miss out of action
The commute between Gold Coast and beyond the Atlantic
Acquaint myself with the intricacies on the web
Keeping our heritage fresh in the world's mind.
