In these performances from remote areas of central Ghana, the collective musical genius of everyday farmers, fisher-folk, traders, and civil servants bursts forth. Their singing and chanting moves through a colorful palette of instruments including water drums, rectangular frame drums, side-blown horns, and brass bands. Clear, penetrating sounds of metal instruments offset by complex drumming patterns are framed by haunting vocals. Listeners are immersed in a kaleidoscope of sound. Thirteen tracks and a 28-page booklet including extensive notes and photos. This is the only commercially available recording of Akan music.\u003cp\u003eAkosua Tuntum - Assin Area\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOmpeh - Efutu Area\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAkosua Tuntum - Denkyira area\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalking Drum - Denkyira area\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDansuomu - Denkyira area\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFontomfrom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMmensoun\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdzewa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass Band\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVocal Band\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApateampa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOsode\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565401194881,"sku":"1324746","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51tAGv8QZgL._SL1500.jpg?v=1777032934","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1324746","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
