Tarch House Productions, one of Ghana’s hard working entertainment companies interested in ensuring peace in the northern part of Ghana, will on July 1 stage a dance programme dubbed ‘Dagbon Unite’, at the palace of the Tamale chief.
The
event is aimed at promoting unity among indigenes of the northern regions and
also bringing together tribes including Abudus and Andanis to co-exist
peacefully.
Various
groups from neighboring villages will engage in a dance competition called
Simpa Dance.
The
dance is very popular in the north and indigenes will compete for the group
with the best Simpa moves.
The
first five winners will at the end of the contest go home with attractive packages.
The
ceremony is anticipated to attract a huge number of indigenes and high-profile
personalities.
Tarch-House
Production is noted for encouraging peace in the northern part of Ghana by
promoting northern musicians and their music. It has over the years held peace
concerts which paraded several musicians to preach peace to indigenes in that
part of the country. The company did
same in the movie industry when it produced a short film on peace titled ‘Dagbana’.
The
film encourages people in the north to see themselves as one people and put an
end to fighting.
‘Dagbana’
tells the tale of two lovebirds, played by popular Ghanaian actor Eddie Nartey
and Lamisi Sam Awinongya of TV3’s Ghana Most Beautiful fame, who met outside
their native land.
They
returned home to get married only to discover that their families are not on
good terms. Eddie and Lamisi’s characters’ decision to marry only opened old
wounds. But the two lovebirds would not bow to their families’ pressure as they
swear to themselves to unite their people and give peace a chance.
The
dance competition on July 1 is to further help promote peace in the north.

Mohammed Abdallah, CEO of Tarch House, expressed the hope that the event would
be historic. He said his outfit was set to thrill Tamale with the show.
However,
he said sponsorship was a problem as politicians in the areas had failed to
support the idea.
