Very popular in traditional music from Ghana, Fontonfrom drums are used to communicate royal messages in Ashanti tribal settings, used to recite proverbs or replicate patterns of speech at most Ashanti monarchy royal gatherings or an Ashanti monarchy royal durbar, as well as to play some popular rhythms.
The energetic poly-rhythms created with these drums can be extremely complex, and is usually very loud given the size and purposes of the drums.
These drums are played with sticks on ceremonial and state occasions, gathering of the community, and communication with the ancestors.
