In What language are they singing?

[BongoGhana]

@dawitkungfu This is "Frafra". Partly spoken in Upper East region of Ghana. maybe 500.000 to 1000.000 people speak this language.

Credit means? Just mentioning right?

And another question: is the quality here on YouTube of the same quality as the original video? I am very happy that you like my proposal!:) I will work on it then, and thank you so much! Oh and then I have a question: what is a typical instrument from Ghana? Is there an particular instrument coming from with a certain sound? Because I would really like to use authentic sounds.:)

Thank you very much!

@stendemen1995 Hi, the quality is fairly ok. Credit does mean naming..yes. As this is Nordern Ghana - there are something similar to a Guitar and small handy drums. Otherwise, Ashanties and the rest of Ghana is using LARGE drums and something like a horn (Ashanti festivals). Check the rest of the Singing & Dancing videos. -re-

@BongoGhana

oh Im so sorry

this won't work... it has too many background sounds (people talking etc.)

[BongoGhana]

@stendemen1995 Send me a remainder at the end of January 2011..

I`ll be back in Ghana and get some more records and videos.

But I might have anyway some audio records (without background talks) .. need jus to find them..;-) Ps. Where are you located?

[ihadyama123]

this is very good

[stendemen1995]

Wow! That is awesome! I will definitely send a remainder then;)

It would be so great when you would find any records without background talk. Thank you so much for your effort! It is so great.

Im from Germany by the way;)

Good luck !

@stendemen1995 Hi, think that is ok, if I get o listen first. But - you will need to give credit to Ghana - Net com -

If the sound is good, I might promote your work.

[stendemen1995]

Hm yeah sounds good!

Do you have any suggestions?

I have one: can I first download this and try to produce a track with it and put it online (NOT downloadable and for no commercial purposes) or first just send it to you for approval?

Thank you in advance,

Hope for an answer soon
