The rich culture and heritage festival also known as Hogbestosto Za is celebrated by the people of the ANLO in the Volta Region of Region of Ghana. The Ewes are believed to have migrated first from Southern Sudan before settling at Notsie. At Notsie, due to the unfavorable treatment and unbearable nature of the wicked King Agorkorli, they had to escape by walking backward.
