Sitting quietly in my Chicago office after lunch thinking about Ghana and feeling nostalgic missing home and remembering Ghana music of old I started humming KRO, KRO, KRO, KRO, HE, HE, HE, HE ... Then, I said, hey, let me find this music on line, and OH, MY GOD! MORE THAN I BARGAIN FOR. MARVELOUS! GOOD JOB. GOD BLESS YOU.
I am from Asante Bonwire . My Dad was one of the best Weaver ever existed in Kumasi . He got his nickname , Agya Owinfo ( father of weaver) , after how best he could be . Is anyone from Bonwire watching with me ? I am from Asante Bonwire and hail from Okyere Banie’s House .
Goosebumps all over my body. In the next 15 to 20 years, about 89% of Ghana's population will not be able to even sing two or 3 patriotic songs. We're losing our identity as Ghanaians. How many among the youth of today can sing any of Dr Ephraim Amu. JP Johnson, Philip Comi Gbeho, Koo Nimo, etc songs. Let's wake up Gh.
Ghana 🇬🇭 need to honor Dr Ephraim.We need to go back to the past.How our forefathers honestly struggled to build the country.President Akuffo Addo is struggling to follow Dr Kwame Nkrumah footsteps.Our country Ghana 🇬🇭 is a lovely country.Let us all stand up and build.Unity we stand
This is the reason why we should change all the books we use in our schools from kindergarten to the Universities and beyond, into our local languages to help improve our understanding of ourselves as Africans. Who in the audience, couldn't understand this wonderful song if I may ask? Because, this and other locally spoken languages is our mother tongue. Thus, we should first learn our own local languages and this would quicken our development as a people.
I agree absolutely with the view that our children should be encouraged to speak their mother tongue first before other foreign languages particularly English
We should also be open to learn each others languages; Ephraim Amu was an Ewe from Peki Avetile but learnt writen and spoken twi and wrote our national anthem in Ewe and translated it to Twi too. Let's respect each other and live peacefully with each other.
It is inexplicable how wonderful it is to have such songs as a nation, GHANA. But as others have already expressed, the younger generations are not realizing the importance of the Ghanaian culture. Ghana tv/ media should stick with cultural education, parents should teach their children the Ghanaian culture too. charity begins at home...why are people speaking to their children in English rather than their native tongue? Most indigenous cultures stick to their identities, why Africans, esp Ghanaians? You lose your place in this 🌎 without an identity. wake up Ghana? Travel outside Ghana and right away one will realize the importance of identity. Some pay to find out their identities...
Excellent, beautifully done. I am watching this with my almost two year old son and I feel a sense of pride and nostalgic. My grandmother had taught me this same song years ago. I hope my son gets to teach his children someday about this.
Wow, very inspiring, Dr. Ephraim was a genius who had the prosperity and success of Ghana at heart, it is our turn to contribute meaningfully to all that he started, May the Lord grant us all grace to do something good for our motherland and to humanity as a whole. Please can we get the full stanzas of the "yen ara asaase ni" anthem?Thank you for the trilling performance
I first heard this song only a few days ago, and musically I find it very enlivening. However, only through reading the comments here have I begun to understand something of its significance. But tell me please, do “kro” and “hi” somehow refer to the operation of the loom on which the cloth is being woven?
Please Research-Ephraim Amu composed it and the local Nation Athem Yen Nara asaseni. That's his daughter Misornu Amu interpreting the song with the choir.
Is it that you don't know, or you are being mischievous?... please go back and learn the history of Ghana, it is not too late...by the way, the composer of this this song was the late Ephraim Amu from peki in the Volta region.

He was given a presidential award. He died the following day after receiving the award. He was really honored when he was alive during Rawlings time.

@@KH-jf8ps tanx dear for the info of course we have to be very open to our culture it doesn't matter what your beliefs ONE GHANA 👑✌🏿🖤🖤🖤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Why are you typing in English instead of your local dialect?
Awwwww my body. The narrator is very good. She has made me feel so good. Something is going through my body.
She is Misornu Amu, the composer ,Ephraim Amu's daughter
Waoow
That is Misonu Amu, the daughter of Ephraim. Ewes are multicultural, accepts all and adapts to all. Bless up
Her Akuapem is so good
so beautiful. i cant stop listening to it
Happy birthday, Tata Amu
Excellent, beautifully done. I am watching this with my almost two year old son and I feel a sense of pride and nostalgic. My grandmother had taught me this same song years ago. I hope my son gets to teach his children someday about this.
Gooesbumps all over chaley .. The youth wee need to fight for our right.
the many joys that this video gives me eh? Soothing
Goosebumps...Goosebumps...Goosebumps...Goosebumps... all over my body....
There is not a single song composed by Dr. Amu that I donot adore. I still don't understand what" Meva,meva" means but I cannot get enough of it.
Great work. I think this should be done annually to remind and educate us
Wow, very inspiring, Dr. Ephraim was a genius who had the prosperity and success of Ghana at heart, it is our turn to contribute meaningfully to all that he started, May the Lord grant us all grace to do something good for our motherland and to humanity as a whole.

*Ghana, my motherland. We need a movie celebrating Kente nnwene. 🥰*
Wow! What a song and what a culture!
Aaaaw
I love this performance and to think that his daughter performed it, that is beautiful
I feel this should've been done when Dr. Amu was still alive.
This would've filled him with so much pride❤
He died way back in 1995 at 95yrs old. He would've been too old if he lived to see this lool
I first heard this song only a few days ago, and musically I find it very enlivening. However, only through reading the comments here have I begun to understand something of its significance.

Yes
Yes, well described.
You're really smart! Exactly 😊
Great Interpretation!
Beautiful tunes 😍. I love the narrator. ❣️
Who is cutting onions.
You guys never cease to make me inspired. God bless you abundantly
Thank you this makes me so happy!
Misornu Amu!!!❤❤
*Goosebumps all over. Beautiful music celebrating the creativity and mastery of our super kente weavers. Lovely.🥰*
This is just beautiful

Bonwire Kente was composed by Professor Emeritus J H Kwabena Nketia.
Please Research-Ephraim Amu composed it and the local Nation Athem Yen Nara asaseni. That's his daughter Misornu Amu interpreting the song with the choir.
Is it that you don't know, or you are being mischievous?... please go back and learn the history of Ghana, it is not too late...by the way, the composer of this this song was the late Ephraim Amu from peki in the Volta region.
You can’t rewrite our history for us. Dr Epraim AMU an Ewe man composed it including yen ara ya asaase ni
