Video: Kente Weaving in Ghana

Just when I was dreaming about fabrics in Ghana, a friend emails me this.

From the video creator:

Last night, I put together a short video about traditional kente weaving in Ghana's Ashanti region. Kente, perhaps the most famous West African textile, is brightly colored, coming in a variety of patterns, some reserved for use by Ashanti royalty. The video was shot in the historic kente weaving village of Bonwire, about an hour south of Kumasi.
You must check out this post and watch the vid.
