Listen to the silence
Description
Taking off from the peace of nature, the singing cicadas, and the simple routines of the workday, this program explores a kaleidoscope of musical examples from Ghana: children's games and their musical bands; traditional drums; sensual dances; trance dances; animated funeral music, and other examples from the Ewe, Ashanti, Ga, and Frafra peoples of Ghana.
