Kpanlongo is the most recent of all Ga recreational dance drumming musical types, an offshoot of "Gome, Oge, Kolomashie, and Konkoma." Kpanlongo emerged during the wake of Ghana's Independence as a dance-drumming musical type for entertainment in Accra mostly for the youth. This music is therefore described as, "the dance of the youth". Kpanlongo is presently performed at various social and political events in Ghana.
