Justice Obeng leads a percussion workshop at West Acre, Norfolk 12/11/2000

During their tour of the UK in 2001, the Kete Warriors undertook an extensive workshop programme at schools and community centres in East Anglia in which they introduced children and adults to Ghanaian percussion, dance and song. The Citizen, a local West Norfolk newspaper, reported that a group of special needs students who worked with the Kete Warriors were 'buzzing with excitement' after their workshop, at which their lives 'were lifted a few notches'.
