Apoo Festival

A Bono festival of cleansing, where songs openly mock wrongdoing, even by the powerful.

About Apoo Festival

Apoo is celebrated by the Bono people in Techiman and Wenchi. For the days of the festival, people may sing songs that openly criticise wrongdoing in the community, including by chiefs, as a way of clearing the air for the new year. It ends with purification rites and a durbar of chiefs.
