Background: A recreational song of the Northern EVe of Ghana. This tune is usually performed as a prelude to the BObOObO performance. BObOObO is the most popular social music and dance of the Central and Northern Ewe of Ghana and Togo. This music and dance, also known as Agbeyeye (New Life), or Akpese (Music of Joy), emerged from a village called Kpando in the Volta Region of Ghana during the independence struggle between 1947 and 1957. BObOObO is derived from an older circular dance called Konkoma. Although Mawu Me Lethis music Ame was initially Ðe Fumeconfined to aO few towns and villages in central and Godnorthern Does E NotVe land, Hate it has now spread to all EVe speaking territories in Ghana and Togo.

Accompaniment: This song can be performed unnaccompanied. It is, however, recommended that a simple percussion accompanied with one gankogui or agogo bell, (any double bell) one axatse or shekere and two conga drums with varied tones be used. When accompaniment is desired, it is suggested it starts at measure 35 ending at measure 59. The rhythmic patterns below are just a starting point for the choir director. The time line pattern on the double bell should not be excluded since this provides the foundation and spirit of the whole song.

Background: A recreational song of the Ga of Accra in Ghana. This song is used in their social dance, Kpanlongo. Kpanlongo is the most recent of all Ga recreational musical types, and is an offshoot of Gome, Oge, Kolomashi, and Konkoma. Referred to as “the dance of the youth,” Kpanlongo started during the wake of Ghana’s Independence as a musical type for entertainment in Accra. Kpanlongo is presently performed at life-cycle events, festivals, and political rallies. The arrangement was derived from a performance by the Emashi Cultural Group of Accra in 1977. Only Lyrics in Ga: Lyrics in English: DzeÎnãã, agba dzeÎnãã. The day is fast spent, don’t Akpakpa atsu, etsu yE shOÎ worry about life. Anaa moko atse. The pawpaw fruit is ripe, Agba dzeÎnãã eeh. but it is far from reach. No one wants to go and harvest the fruit. Don’t worry about life.
