Yaponsa from Cooshi by Vincent van Hessen

Going back to my African roots, or at least while searching for them,
I met an amazing African High-life guitarist who taught me a thing or two about playing African guitar, one of the songs happened to be 'Yaponsa'.
'Yaponsa' is a traditional Ghanaian song sung in Twi:
Twi (Akan Kasa - another name for Twi) is the most popular Ghanaian language in the country, Ghana..
A lot of it had to do with the fact I was a member of a Ghanaian music folklore group for sometime a few years after the meeting mentioned above, and learnt how to sort of pronounce the language with the aid of Ghanaian musicians and dancers, even though i honestly don't know what I'm singing about.
It had this sweet, lush and happy African groove I had been looking for most of adult musical life.
I'm sincerely happy with the end result, with this wonderful group of musicians from Russia/Israel/US/Netherlands who all put their energies into recording this song so lovingly.
It's a wonderful treat.
