@GyapKay @PapaPoku Dig in man… interested to know what you find. His playing on those two albums is virtuoso stuff, and I think both are at the very top of burgher highlife albums (the Bodo Staiger touch was helpful too, I’m sure).

@FozGharby @l3mor_ Would play a winger with striker’s instincts (or reverse) on the R (Inaki/Jordan) who can also track back. Kamaldeen/Paintsil on L. Double pivot with Partey + (?Salis, not sold on Baba) and Kyereh at CAM.

[pierregh @pierregh]

@FozGharby @l3mor_ I’m not sure Dede has the legs to track back like we need the person on that RW to do. I think we have to find a way to play Partey, Kyereh and Kudus at the same time. I’m partial to replicating the Ajax strategy and playing Kudus as false 9 (with Dede subbing into that position

Nana Tuffour’s Sikyi Medley https://t.co/X2jmQxljt2 via @YouTubeMusic. Enamored by the guitar on this track!! @iamBeatMenace, any major work by the guitarist (?Ampofo Acquah) I should check out?

Is Gundogan Raumdeuter 2.0? Can’t think of others at his level this season in exploiting tight spaces on the pitch. @chibsah_ what say you?

Chanced on this incredible Xabi Alonso interview from 2017: https://t.co/3KWXJB0Ssf. Provides great tactical perspective on his prev teams, esp @ Real M. @eastsportsman @OtiAdjei @garyalsmith any candidates from the Black Stars 2006-2014 teams who’d be able to do similarly?

@mensamusic @iamBeatMenace If it’s music from, say, your great-great-grandparents (or earlier generation’s) time, folks become a lot more comfortable calling it traditional. But as long as there’s documentary evidence of its creation, there’ll be modifiers (derived from x, y...)

[pierregh @pierregh]

@mensamusic @iamBeatMenace Fair point Mensa, hence the quotes around traditional above. I’m no ethnomusicologist, but I think the semantics around traditional are affected profoundly by time-from-genre creation.

@iamBeatMenace Kofi, is the clip from a longer piece?

[pierregh @pierregh]

@iamBeatMenace Props to Otoo Lincoln, Frank Lane, etc for creating a genre that so accurately captured the rhythm of our ppl that many people confuse it for a ‘traditional’ one

[pierregh @pierregh]

@iamBeatMenace Apparently older Ghanaian folks in Accra in the early sixties thought the dancing (which borrowed from ‘twists’/rocknroll was ‘indecent’

@BlitzAmbassador More magical realism? I generally find it a tough genre to navigate (both in print and on screen), but you did it beautifully in The Burial of Kojo!
