Ane di Guawo!
We Are Guans!
An Ode to the First Beating Heart of the Land
Ane di Guawo!
Before the names were carved in maps,
Before the flags were sewn with dreams—
We were here.
We are Guans!
The first drumbeat in the forest,
The first fire kindled in the hills.
Our feet walked this soil
Before borders claimed her.
Ane di Guawo!
From the sacred peaks of Berekum,
To the ocean's breath of Bereku,
From the heart of Kyiriponi plains,
To the cliffs of Kyiripon's flame—
From the ancestral rhythm of Ahafu,
To the ageless echoes of Ahanta—
We lived and rise again as one,
Scattered, yet united,
Woven through Ghana’s soul
Like gold threads through time.
We taught the first greetings,
Planted the first yams,
Sang the first songs that summoned the rain—
And when others came,
We gave them language, land, and lore.
Yet we remained—
Quiet. Unshaken. Guan.
Our voices echo in many tongues,
But our essence cannot be erased.
We are the silence that holds strength,
The rivers that remember their course.
We are the ink beneath forgotten scripts,
The spine behind cultures that thrive.
Not lost. Not gone. Not invisible.
But rising. Reclaiming. Resounding.
With every dance of the waist beads,
With every tale from our elders’ lips,
With every child who learns our tongue—
The rebirth begins.
We are the keepers of old truths,
The original guardians of this land.
Our time is not passed—
Our time is now.
So stand tall, O children of the ancient pot,
Lift your heads, brave hearts of all Guans,
Speak proud, royal souls of the North, South, East and West.
Let the world know:
Ane di Guawo!
We are Guans!
Not forgotten, but foundational.
Not few, but faithful.
Not fading, but flourishing.
Share our story.
Join the rise.
Because the roots are still alive—
And the tree is growing again.
