Fanga by the Oshkosh Rhythm Ensemble

Fanga is a welcome song from Liberia. The Oshkosh is a recreational percussion ensemble from Oshkosh WI, USA.

We are extremely grateful to, and have much respect for, the many generations of Africans who created and perpetuated some of the most meaningful music in the universe. And to Babatunde Olatunji, who played a huge role in spreading the joy of drumming all over the world, we love you.

keep practice , work lowering pitch of vocols , drum need to tighter , No diffanition, not bad , NO lead drummer , sonds like a drum circle rather than a performance.

@kodidrummer Thanks for the tips and comment. Our lead drummer (me :)) has improved much in the past couple years with practice, and figured out how to tighten drums better. I should post an update.

A greater compliment couldn't be offered. Baba O is one of our inspirations to do what we do. Thank You very much.
