A previous version of this page described coupé-décalé and gbégbé dance, kita weaving, Baoulé gold jewellery, oral tales and village-chief visits as part of the Assinie coast's culture. We could not source these statements for this place, so we removed them. If you know the area and can point us to a source, write to us.
