Wɔme Adiya Akpesse Group - Yesu Xɔnam Agudze

[Cotyledonous]

Thanks, Nutifafanami. You can see from my second comment that I have also established that the group is really from Togo. I don't think people think that the Togolese Ewe is the one spoken in Lomé. The Ewe spoken in Lomé is a form of Anecho who have come to dominate the capital. That Ewe is not spoken anywhere in Gh. Perhaps that's why people think it's Togo Ewe. It is true, as you say, that the Kpalime Ewe is like the one spoken in Ghana - basically true of all the former German Togoland.

This group is from Wome, in Togo (Kloto), a few kilometers from Kpalime. It is funny how most people think the Togolese Ewe is the one spoken in Lome. The Ghanaian Ewe Mawuakpe and Cotyledonous are referring to is in fact the Ewe spoken in the part of German Togo that became part of British gold coast (present day Ghana) after WW I. The only difference you hear in the Ewe spoken at both sides of the border is the occurrence of French in TG and English in GH. Check also the Agome Kpodzi group.

Akpe, Mawuakpe. I have the continuation of this video but it is a bit defective. I have uploaded it anyway. The second part shows the group is definitely from Togo. The ending credits, which I have edited out, say so. They are from Wome in Togo. The contact telephone numbers are 00228 - 819 89 54, 836 35 01, 9718519. BP 395, Wome - Togo. Realisation: D.K.S. Production, BP 1029, Lomé - Togo. Made in the year 2009. Wome is a place in Togo. Even the environments look like places from Togo.

They probably use a French software to make their videos ! Too Often people have doubts about whether Groups,singers are Ewe from Ghana or Togolese. the french words " A suivre" at the end mean "to be continued" so im going to ask you : do you have the following of this video ?

[Cotyledonous]

You may be right, Mawuakpe. They sound more like the Ghanaian Ewe than the Togolese one. But the video has some French words at the intro credits and at the end. And Ghanaian Ewes are more likely to write "akpese" than "akpesse" if they don't right away say borborbor. Perhaps they were recorded in Togo.

I think they're from Ghana, because they speak in Ewe, by the way they sound like others Ghanaian groups ! And thank you for sharing this video.
