Gahu Ghanaian/Ewe dance/drum

[suppjcx]

This song is very interesting. you can feel the passion in music each guy felt. i personally did enjoy it. especially the guy all the way to our right. he stood out for me.

how come the asimowu switches between two sticks and one hand/one stick? is this normal? I learned it with one stick only.

[mamadykamara]

I learned this with no stick in the left hand of the ashimowu player...what ist normal?

i learned this joyfully with the ladzekpo family in los angeles. kobla, alfred,agbi etc. the whole family are very fine teachers who have shared so much music with los angeles for many years.

G-d bless all of them.

@joshuasound  what the fuck is G-d ? you mean "GOD" ? if yes , say so ...Don't be afraid , God won't turn you into a pig instantly for spelling his name correctly , or does he ??

[joshuasound]

@FilthyRichPrick1

spelling "G-d" is a way of respect for the name of G-d that i learned as a child.

i am not afraid. the omission of the "o" is so the name wont be desecrated, 'erased' or 'deleted'. i don't ask anyone else to do that. but this is how i was raised. respect for G-d and respect for others.

@joshuasound yeah , when I was kid my parents told me Santa was real , but later discovered it wasn't ..so , maybe it's time for you to grow up , you know , you aren't 6 y.o. anymore..and stop thinking about God being some distant , cold , unreachable existence ..that's how so many of you koshers lose path , and become money-worshiping sneaky creatures

[joshuasound]

i love it at 4:59 (my favorite!) and 6:30.

[RedHotTamales]

My music teacher is teaching us this for our 5th grade musical, and this is really good! He is the master drummer and we are playing on tubano drums, but they sound pretty good!
