Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, Ghana edition 10 Description: Ghana, 1961. Juju: What is the Truth – As the fire blazes and drums beat out their rhythm, one of the men leaps into the blaze and dances in the straw. Others followed him..." You want to see juju at work? Why Amotive is the place!" "No, Agbomey is better! Go there, man!" "The place is Bioseh!" Yes, suggestions came by the million, when we said we wanted to see ju ju. No-one told us: "I have personally been to so-and so place and seen such and such wonders. I guaranteed that if you go there, you will see and photograph the same wonders."
