Wulomei’s 1972 efforts fostered profound cultural decolonization, embedding Ga identity into Accra’s soundscape through authentic folk that outshone highlife’s Western gloss. Gome rituals at Homowo durbars revived 1660 Ayawaso resilience tales, polyrhythms and proverbs countering pidgin dilution, inspiring national folk waves.

Today, this anchors Ga heritage against urbanization.
