Borborbor Troupe - Tema, Ghana

This clip shows a borborbor troupe near Tema, in January 2007. This was the day before I left Ghana, and the taxi driver I had used a lot in my travels offered to take me to meet his friends to perform for me, so I obliged. They played for about half an hour, most of which I filmed, and afterwards I gave them a donation so they could buy themselves some drinks afterwards.

@mykool2 - excellent, I'm glad she liked it.....I've had some great feedback about this clip, and it's had a large number of views, more than some other clips that I thought might be more popular.

How much of a donation did you give them? just wondered, have a friend there.

@ztech618 - actually, I can't recall.......I know it was in the old currency.........maybe 15-20ghc in the new Cedi........I think the idea was to get them some beers/drinks or something......

I didn't realize that there would be this many people there.........when I got told by the guy that was driving us around at the time, I expected maybe 4-5 people.......but this was pretty cool, and I told them I would put them on the internet........
