it is very interesting for me that you bring West African culture to Australia!

when i was a student (long ago...i`m now 51 years old) i was very interested to learn about African pre-colonial-history and i was impressed to hear (just to mention one example) about the Ashanti, the Asantehene, all their traditions, my teacher was Leonhard Harding (university Duisburg, North Rhine Westfalia), later he teached in Hamburg

best wishes,

Thank you for your comments and interest in African culture and history, Angelika.

I am doing my best to inform, enlighten and share the inner beauty of African culture with the rest of the world.
