The prempensua is a large lamellophone used in the music of Ghana, similar to the marímbula or rumba box.[1][2] The word prempensua is in the Akan language, although similar instruments are played by other ethnolinguistic groups in Ghana.[3] It is also known as the "kono" by the Kassena people, "animgbo" by the Dagomba people, and the "gyilgo" by the Gonja people.[3]
The prempensua musical instrument is being used during social gatherings, occasions of social interest and festivals.
