Abstract: Agbadza is a genre of performance art that originated among the Ewe people (Ghana, Togo). The drumming features musical interactions between lead and response drums; in songs, poems are set to tunes that have a variety of call-and-response arrangements between several song leaders and a larger choral group. As discussed here, the rhythm of the vocal music contributes to the overall temporal vitality of an Agbadza performance.
