• The Origin of Palm Wine Aug 17, 2025

  

  Come close, and hear the story of the tree that gives the sweet cup. The old tellers say this tale when palms are heavy and hands are sticky with harvest. It is a song about patience and the quiet work of people who listen to the land.

  There was a time, before the drums knew the measures we clap today, when the people drank only the river’s water and the milk of the land. In a small grove of tall palm trees, there lived a young man named Kweku, who loved the sound of laughter more than his own reflection. Kweku had a brother, and they worked the fields, yet he always watched the traders leave with jars of far-off spices and wine, dreaming of a drink that would make celebrations sing.
