Accra as the city literally named after its ants: Jamestown's forts, Bukom's boxing lane, Makola's market prices, Kantamanto's secondhand "dead man's coats," Teshie's wooden fish-shaped coffins, and the drums that fall silent for a month before Homowo, traded line by line between two equally weighted leads.
Named For The Ants

Style
Fast 132 BPM highlife-hiplife fusion sung in Ghanaian-accented English by two equally traded male and female leads locking into unison choruses, built on kpanlogo hand drums, a deep gome bass drum and cowbell, interlocking palm-wine guitars, punchy trumpet-and-sax stabs, and market-crowd chants — sincere throughout, no irony.
