Africa O-Yé 062421: Ghana Selection

(Image from here.*)

Given the chance to sit in on KBOO's show Africa O-Yé this week, I chose to play some of my favorite music from Ghana.  I wish I knew enough about the country & its music to have curated it in some discernably interesting way but I don't so you'll have to settle for a mix of music that I like put in the order that came naturally to me.

This show will be archived on the Self Help Radio website next week, but it's already available for you on the KBOO website.  In case you'd like to listen.  What I played is there & also below.
