Let Me Teach You The Thing
Funny, feel good song that I hear everywhere in Ghana and Liberia. When it comes on everyone immediately starts to mock the nearest person of the opposite sex. Available on iTunes. Ghana really is coming up on the international club tip, and as Will and Benjamin noted, Accra is becoming both a geographic and sonic …
Ghana Brings the Fire
Sarkodie, Sway, and JaySo-Lay Away Are you serious!?! A stand out tune from Sway’s latest mixtape, Bring me to Africa. Sway and Sarkodie are signed to Akon’s Konvict records. Does that mean Sarkodie’s going to start being played on B.E.T.’s 106th & Park? I hope so. The rapping man… The rapping!

Ghana is looking like it right now for Africa, so we’re gonna put all …
What Move You?
Kuduromatic put up a song with rhythms, melodies, and vocal stylings that sound to me like Angolans being influenced by West African Hiplife, Coupe Decale or Zouglou. Perhaps it’s a nod to Congolese Soukous, the name Langa Langa recalling my favorite Soukous group Zaiko Langa Langa. DJ Papi Chulo and Alidjuma-Langa Langa Maybe I’m wrong …
Akwaaba Means Welcome
Vacation. I love it. Even being a tourist, when I hate it. I just got back from Hawaii. After participating in a great discussion I went to the beach, and didn’t touch a computer for 10 days. No, it wasn’t the discussion that drove me to that. A friend and partner of mine is releasing …
