Asante is a prominent ethnic group located in Ghana, known for its rich cultural heritage and history. The Asante people are part of the larger Akan group and primarily speak the Twi language. They are recognized for their traditional governance system, which includes a powerful king known as the Asantehene, who plays a significant role in the community and cultural practices. The Asante are famous for their vibrant art, particularly in textiles and wood carvings. Their historical kingdom, the Asante Empire, was established in the late 17th century and became a major political and economic power in West Africa. Today, the Asante continue to celebrate their traditions through festivals, music, and dance.
