Step into the vibrant world of the Asante Kingdom and discover the origins of the iconic Kente cloth. In this episode, we recount the legendary tale of two brothers, Nana Koragu and Nana Ameyaw, whose chance encounter with the clever spider Ananse forever changed their craft—and their village. From weaving simple fabrics to creating royal treasures, this is a story of ingenuity, tradition, and a legacy that endures to this day.
