BATAKARI

Batakari, also known as Fugu is an attire mostly worn by women and men in the northern part of Ghana.

In Ghana especially in the northern part, people are adapted to the Batakari trend as it is part of their culture. It is also termed as a plaid garment that is similar to what is popularly known as Dashiki or Joromi among some tribes.

Made of hand loomed strips of cotton, it is either sewn or woven depending on the designer and the public’s preference. Batakari as some may choose to call it in the north, and Fugu by the southerners is oftentimes accompanied by a cap.

Batakari is considered a mark of power and tradition as some political leaders have been seen wearing the attire to make public statements. Kwame Nkrumah declared the independence of Ghana on March 6, 1957 wearing the Batakari.

During the Damba Festival which is celebrated by the people of Dagbon, Gonja, Mamprusi, Nanumba and Wala of Northern Ghana, the dress code is the Fugu. The smock is also worn during marriage and burial ceremonies.

It is a fact that in Ghana, most politicians wear Fugu sewn in their party colours to rallies and conventions.

When you come to Ghana, you come to Africa. You will experience the love, the culture that have made us who we are. What you see in this photo is basket weaving. A basket is made from so many materials but the major materials we use in Ghana is fronds of palm branches. It serves us so many purpose. For conveying of any material or produce that is wet free. Things being put in a basket for the purposes of carrying it on your head are wet free because basket have holes in them that will allow water to drip on you all over if you carry wet stuff.
