Where are all my friends from Ghana? Please write out what this fantastic song means. I had to call Ghana Embassy Information Dept. in London to get the meaning. What a great song; I danced to it as a child in Nigeria.

it's about Ghanaian food and inked with the villages or towns where you can find these foods. e.g Fomfom is made from maize meal and it's the staple of the AHANTA tribe (western Ghana near Ivorian border), Dokonu (also boiled maize) eaten by the Ga tribes in Accra the capital. Basically thats the meaning of the whole song

@ThePapaswing Thanks for the great info. You mention of W Ghana reminded me of doing the "Monkey Walk" - the rope walkways in the tops of the trees at Kakum National Park seeing the monkeys close up on a 2007 visit to Ghana. Fantastic experience.
