African Woman



I saw this video by a Ghanaian singer the other day on a local channel and I realized how representative it is of all that I'm seeing here between rural and urban Accra, featuring:

- the landscape
- village and city life
- mud houses
- roaming animals
- father daughter relationship based on respect for elders
- the physical telling off of others
- the fetching of water
- ampeh (girls' clapping & jumping game, like paper/rock/scissors but with feet)
- fashion and accessories
- market culture
- city scammers & debt collectors
- the trend of girls continuing their education
- traditional dance
a mirror just like the one I have in my room
- and of course the African woman in all her beauty :)
