Well I (Christian from Hamburg, Germany) posted this video. I filmed it myself last year. I don't know Alex, he just appeared on our porch in Cape Coast one morning! :-)
Nice video! Whats so weird about him? This is just a traditional song from northern Ghana. Some of my family live in Cape Coast, there's quite a few northerners who've settled there.
That instrument is called "Gyil" in northern Ghana and Burkina Faso, or "Balafon" by the people of Mali and Guinea; its the ancestor of the modern Xylophone.
"Weird" wasn't meant in a bad way. It was just very funny and seemed exotic for us at that moment. We were a group of german students travelling through Ghana last year and this musician appeared on our porch one morning. :-)So you live in Ghana as well? Greetings from Germany
Very nice gyil and singing! Thanks for sharing!
