about

The adaptations of Dagaare traditional music on this record were given to Bex by Thomas Segkura and the people of Guo (North Ghana) during her traditional apprenticeship as a Gyil maker. These powerful Ghanaian pieces are played as Bex understands them and as felt by the band. Takyen Korakora, Gandayina, Zine Dondone and Bekone are all based on strong and forceful funeral music. The others are recreational music.
