Kobine is a traditional dance and festival unique to the people of Lawra area of north-western Ghana.
[1] The dance and the festival named after it are celebrated in September and October to mark the end of a successful harvest.
A procession of the family heads is accompanied by groups of younger people dressed to represent hunters and elephants.
A number of speeches are made by dignitaries and other guests of honour before the Kobine dance competition begins.
The men usually dress in beautifully decorated skirts, but are usually bare-chested to demonstrate their masculinity as well as their flexibility while they dance.
