Sankofa is an expression derived from the Twi language of Ghana. It highlights the importance of going back and retrieving knowledge gained from the past and bringing it into the present in order to move forward in positive light.

On House of Sankofa, we are attempting to bridge this gap through conversations around music, spirituality and culture. We will be looking into the common threads that connect Africans within the continent and the diaspora.

In many ways, we have forsaken our very being as Africans and it is important for us to realize this derailment. We therefore need to get back on course because at the very center of our existence is our cultural heritage. It defines the very essence of who we are.

Let’s go back and retrieve so we can move forward in light and love.
