"Nhsɔnaa mumɔ" draws inspiration from the Masquerade Festival that takes place in Takoradi, Ghana. The Takoradi Masquerade Festival is a colorful and vibrant event held in Takoradi, the capital of the Western Region of Ghana. It typically takes place annually, often during the Christmas or New Year period, and is one of the most exciting cultural festivals in the area.

The festival is known for its lively street parades where participants dress up in elaborate costumes and wear traditional masks. These masks are often made from wood, beads, and other materials, and they are used to represent different spirits, deities, or cultural figures. The masqueraders perform dances, music, and theatrical acts, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region.

It's a festival that brings together both locals and tourists, offering a unique opportunity to experience the diverse and vibrant traditions of the Western Region of Ghana.
