Somehow this Easter weekend - between partying and rainstorms - I managed to catch a cold. It started with a sore throat, and has moved on to become a relentlessly runny nose. Am I scared I have some horrible tropical illness? Yes. Is that likely? No. I'm just curious how I could have caught a cold while staying in the tropics where I spend 99.2% of the day bathing in my own sweat.
So because I just took some benadryl to help me sleep...and my brain is slowly shutting down...I present to you as a post some musical treasurers.
Let's start with stereotypical African songs:

These always play in the touristy hotel restaurant.
But if you want to listen to some REAL African music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw5-Dj_ReaY - I LOVE 2face...but he's Nigerian and not Ghanaian...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qryWRyMZwOA - THIS is Ghanaian hiplife...it's like hop-hop Ghana-style. This particular singer is an ex-football player...infamous for missing a world cup goal (ouch).
Enjoy the sounds of Africa.
