KETE (Unity Drum, in Cape Coast, Ghana) Kete dance has always been a court dance for chiefs and members of the Royal Household and the favorite of the Asantehene.

Another traditional source claims that kete drums were originally for the Asantehene who took them while they were going to fight against the Gyamans.
