The Ga are an ethnic group indigenous to the West African nation of Ghana. Having a language very similar to that of the Dangme, another Ghanaian ethnic group, the Ga are grouped as part of the Ga-Dangme ethnolinguistic group.

There are about 600,000 Ga speakers, making up about 8 percent of Ghana's population. Most Ga live in the southeastern coastal region of the country, around the capital of Accra.

Culture

The Ga are known for their kpanlogo, a modernized traditional dance and music form developed around 1960.
