African slaves in Guyana would have come from various locations. A lot came from the Congo region, but my understanding is that the majority were Akan people, from the region today known as Ghana.
This would make sense as Guyana was ruled by the the dutch for most of the colonial period. The Dutch built many forts in Ghana so it would have made sense to get most of their slaves from there.
Also, the Slave rebellion in Guyana was led by a slave known Kuffy, which is probably derived from the Ghanaian name 'Kofi.' His second in command was a slave known as Atta which is also a Ghanaian name. Also, Kenkey is a food dish from Ghana which is also traditionally cooked by a lot of black families in Guyana. It is cooked the same way and has the same name (just pronounced slightly differently)
