We learned several chants and songs from Sowah Mensah, a Master Drummer originally from Ghana. It was an honor to study with him, and I've tried to reproduce the tunes as well as I can, so that I can keep them fresh in my musical memory. For the full musical experience, I've noted the CD of Sowah's on which each of these arrangements appears. These are available for purchase at Sowah's web site.

Adenkum (from NTOA):

  • Osee Ye (women's part on the ending)

  • Osee ne so mmae da
