Our traditional cultural group (Yanaglo Cultural Troupe) that plays the most ancient therapeutic musical and dancing is also on the verge of gaining international reputation for all sponsorships of kinds.
The cultural troupe was set up in 1996 and registered under Yanaglo Ventures in 1998 with 12 artistes, made up of 7 women and 5 women. The performances put up at various places have moved the hearts of a few artistes and this has actually increased the membership drive to 18 with 10 men and 8 women. For the past seven years the group has made over 70 stage appearances and performed in seven out of the ten regions of Ghana.
Notable among the places the group has performed was the La Palm Beach Hotel, Shangri La Hotel, National Cultural centre, State functions and the University of Ghana. It is worthy to note that the group was one of the few groups that performed at the Kotoka International Airport to welcome the legendary President Bill Clinton of America in the year 1997.

The group have been to Denmark to perform in the year 2004 at a festival in Bornholm and the leader,founder have been in Denmark on several occasion to perform and teach how to drum and dance.

The troupe plays almost all the Ghanaian drums and performs all the Ghanaian dances to the admiration of its audience. Drumming of kenka, agbadza, adzogbo and atsiagbekor are very common and peculiar to the Ewes. In the Akan zone, performances are on adowa, kete and asafo etc while the Northern sector is represented by Damba Takai, norkuwa, bawa etc. These are the non- material aspects of the Ghanaian culture that are intended to be maintained and improved for the future generation to know the high values of our culture.

On records we have been known to be the only company on the continent that has the capabilities and the mandate to progress in that field of endeavour to humanity as a whole. The bottom line is that we are doing this to increase the renewal of our tradition to assist humanity.
