African Brothers Dance Band - Mmobrowa - Ofie Nwansena - San Behwe Wo Mma

[UncleMo77]

Third tune....Sanbra, maame behwe wommba, wommba eeko, wommba eebere (Come back, mother to look after your children....your children are finding it tough, comeback....your children are suffering, so comeback and look after your children)

[UncleMo77]

Parphrase of second tune...Ankonam owuo ne yadie nti, hwe die mewie (Poor orphan, due to death and sickness, look how I am reduced to nothing. My happiness has turned into sorrow...I do not have much to rely on...Oh my dear mother, your child is finding life very tough).

[UncleMo77]

Mmobro wa na daben? (Poor me, when will my star shine? When will my fortunes change for the better? Things don't go well with me and my family and kinsmen dont' value my presence, be cause I am not a person of substance. When will my fortunes change?). This is a snapshot of the first tune on this side of the album

pls can someone post the english translation

[UncleMo77]

Flipside of Ena eya mane me on the first album. Mmobrowa and ofie wansena are remixes of some of nana ampadu's lovely tunes of 68-69; san behwe womba was a hot stuff in nana and eddie donkor interchange of sizzling guitar work

[FernyBass007]

[Abena2011]

It seems like the older one gets, the more one appreciates this music. Thanks for posting!

[marlowe52]

I'm a white Californian, I have loved this record since first hearing it in '80?



[rokus666]

Thanks for loading. You've made my night

[komputaman]

This is one of the best albums of African music ever made

[igbos27]

If u listen to the Nigeria's Peacock Int'l and listen to this very track, u'll hear similitudes of tempo. I can drive long distances with the track playing repeatedly. Also "sambro ooeh bu onye oma." And "Enuwa m oh omo eko o."

[amyhrs]

@FloydManFloyd really! wish u understood.

[Kobe29261]

@FloydManFloyd This is interesting Floyd, I'm 29 years old, born and raised in Ghana but now living in the States. I just happen to love 'Country music' and my American friends think that's weird! I guess they haven't met you. Be happy my brother, I'm glad that you have found in you something that connects with meaning beyond the superficial. You will find great joy in life with a perspective and openness of mind like that! God bless!

[FloydManFloyd]

@Kobe29261 cheers! that was a really nice thing to read when i just happen to feel a bit bad. I was just playing guitar along to 'Evening Star' by robert fripp and brian eno, and by the end i thought to myself 'i'm no musician' and that feels bad because i desperately want to be a musician. but reading your comment cheered me up a bit so cheers :) have a great time mate!

[Kobe29261]

@FloydManFloyd Be encouraged my brotha, I myself feel trapped in a Masters program and can't seem to make any headway with it, I desperately also want to succeed at it. But in all these I believe we need to always ask ourselves 'will we make another person feel as bad as how we allow ourselves to feel' or 'Who are we to knock ourselves down?' You are the author of your life. You may not be a musician on the evening news but to me you are because you have a right to define yourself, Be Happy!
