Mami Wata is a spiritual phenomenon widely distributed and accepted throughout Western and Central Africa. Religious in its appearance, Mami Wata is the result of socio-cultural encounter among African, European and Asian diaspora. Mami Wata is basically rooted in West African belief systems in which local people maintain an idea of river people. Folklores in West Africa tell that a specific group of aqueous animal in a shape of half-human and half-animal abode in rivers or sea, and has tremendous influences over the life of people. This river people have changed its appearances and characters as external spiritual elements imported to West Africa since 16th century onward. European concept of mermaid/siren, and Asian concept of snake charmer and Hindu gods, Krishna and Shiva in particular, have been incorporated into the image of river people. These encounters have caused the making of ‘Mami Wata’ (a mother of water). Therefore, Mami Wata is historically hybridized and creolized form of apparition, and it signifies diasporic encounters among African, Western and Asian values on the one side, and ‘traditional’ and modern values on the other. The presentation focuses on Mami Wata phenomenon in Tema, Ghana. Tema is the harbor town of Tema Metropolitan, located 24km away from Accra Metropolitan, in which residents have strong beliefs on Mami Wata, mostly as evil spirits, and I will pursue the nature and function of Mami Wata phenomenon by giving a special attention on the diasporic and creolized aspects of it.
