Mbah Africa

Look at it as a place of enjoyment

We sold everything we had, thinking it would make it better

Fight for your Africa, make it a better place
Look not what Africa has done for you
What you can do for Africa, to make it a better place

Ton soleil O Afrique ne se cachera plus
Ta lune ne disparitra le plus

Nigeria: Reinventing Society Through Gospel Music
- Music has great and many kinds of influence over people. It is water or acid for the soul, depending on what is produced. It is an extremely versatile means of communication. It is capable of exploiting all the acoustic features that are used in verbal communication. Moreover, it does so in an explicit and structured way, which makes it an interesting and useful window into human communication in general. [All Africa.com music]

Ghana national anthem

Ghana, Hail the Name of Ghana

God bless our homeland Ghana
And make our nation great and strong
Bold to defend for ever
The cause of Freedom and of Right
Fill our hearts with true humility
Make us cherish fearless honesty,
And help us to resist oppressors' rule
With all our will and might for evermore

(repeat previous two lines)

Jama - Osee, osee, Black Stars ei, forward ever!

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •  

...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins I have been wanting to blog about Ghana's World Cup participation ever since October 8, 2005, when Ghana qualified. Now that we've been to the tournament and are still riding strong, the time is right. The Black Stars have shown some gallant displays, especially after a terrible African Nations' Cup campaign. They fought against the Italians and fell short, completely gave the Czechs (and the rest of the world) a reality check and outlasted the USA. Appropriately, Ghana has thrown its weight behind its Black Stars and have been celebrating this piece of history. Ghana hasn't just been celebrating, it has done its part in motivating the 'boys' to be successful. The government has contributed its quota, private industry has sponsored the preparations, the citizenry has offered support and prayers and the musicians have helped us all cheer them on. Just like the good old days when we cheered on our secondary school teams with resounding 'jama', Ghanaians now have songs to sing at the World Cup too. 4x4's 'Jama' is just one of them.
