Kambon-waa is a warrior dance of the Dagbamba of West Africa that emerged following interactions between Dagbaŋ and Asanteman in the mid-18th century.
[1] The musicians of Kambon-waa are called Kambonsi (sing: kamboŋa).
The terminology Kambonsi and kamboŋa are also used to refer to the Akan people albeit in a different contextual meaning.
Five main pieces characterize the core music of the kambon-waa.
It is played as a pre-performance to notify people of the start of kambon-waa.
