i AM GHANIAN OF ONLY 23 YEARS OLD WHO WAS RAISED UP IN EUROPE BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO THESE SONGS I FEEL THEM IN MY BONES! FANTASTIC. ASANTE MOGYA!!!!!

[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

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

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

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

I am a world citizen, 30. I feel this in my bones as well. Who wouldn't? An animal probably.

@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!
