music!

i wanted to share some popular music with you. the first two are songs that you hear all the time here in ghana, along with celine dion, of course. they are both nigerian, actually, but just like movies, nigerian music is very popular in ghana.

first up, my favorite, is yori yori. it's catchy. it'll get stuck in your head.

next is fall in love. my favorite lyrics are "sweet potato" and "sugar banana." they alone make this song amazing.

the last one isn't played so often now, but it's one i still enjoy. this was popular last summer, when it was announced that obama's first african trip would be to ghana. some of the biggest ghanaian musicians came together for this song to welcome obama to ghana. akwaaba is the twi word for "welcome," and you'll hear that a lot in it.
