I'm having a beauty pageant on the 4th September, 2021. Because of this song I chose Ga as my native language when I'm actually Fante. God bless Ga. God bless mother Ghana🇬🇭🇬🇭
Hello, my native language is Dutch because I'm a Belgian women. Like to cook food from allover the world so also from ghana. This is one of the songs I sing from beginning to end without understanding a word but no wurrys aslong as the food is heavenly who cares. 😋 Because my husband(Burkina B) grow up in ghana I cook more often ghanian food. Alod of greatings from Belgium.
Wulomei is a Ghanaian music group that was founded in 1973 by Nii Tei Ashitey,[1] with the encouragement of the dramatist and musician Saka Acquaye. Acquaye managed the band and wrote some of the music. Ashitey had previously been a percussionist for the Tempos led by E.T. Mensah, Tubman Stars and Worker's Brigade highlife bands, but decided to create a more "rootsy" sound to, as he once put it, "bring something out for the youth to progress and to forget foreign music and do their own thing". During the 1970s and 1980s, Wulomei made a number of successful tours to Europe and the United States.
It’s basically means; There’s a certain gentleman from Sempe (A town in Ghana) He is such a good looking man, and gives unconditional love. He came around to wake me from my sleep I asked him “what is the matter?” He told me “I’m in a hurry” And I asked him “Where are you taking me in such a hurry?” “We’re going to Meridian in Tema (A town in Ghana). We’re going to dine, drink, and dance.” He replied. It’s basically just that on repeat.
This wonderful masterpiece just tapped into somewhere deep in my soul; tapped somewhere long lost and forgotten in my life. It brought the stream of childhood memories of which I couldn’t even begin to imagine. Then somebody clearly pointed out that it preceded Hearts-Kotoko games in the 80s. And I had a connection straight away. But still my soul hurts, I can’t remember the exact thing or place, but I know this song had been a part of my childhood. And it made me calm then and still gives me that fleeting feeling of peace and at oneness with myself. Thank you, Wulomei… This is a timeless classic.
Stop that bullshit, nigerian also has been doing music for centuries , and they have develop to what they have today, if what you said is true then where is ghanian international afrobeat singers?
@@borkor22 can you kindly point us to a few Nigerian songs with this exact same rhythm? I've listened to Shina Peters, Sunny Ade and Fela himself, I don't remember hearing any of them use this Highlife + Kpanlogo rhythm. I could be wrong, kindly point me to a few to enlighten me
🤩🤩🤩This song always reminds me of radio commentary of Hearts vs Kotoko football games back in the 80's. We were spoilt rotten with these fantastic songs before the game starts.
It’s 2021 and here I am an year old listening to song older than me… I grew up hearing such songs in the ga environs… it gives me a feeling of home anytime I hear or listen to it…how warm my feels right now❤️❤️

This song is so so sweet, it’s a bit of a love song I think, my Ga it’s not great but I think it’s saying, someone came to see her and he was very handsome, he said to her I want to tell you something and she said what is it, he says I am in a hurry, she says where are you going, he said I want to take you to meridian Tema, The chorus repeat so we’re going to eat there we’re going to drink there and we are going to dance there. I could just imagine my parents dancing to this back in the day lol
