Thanks for your comment @DRUMNIdotcom . The instrument has many different names across West Africa - most commonly 'gonje' or 'goje.' Since this was filmed in Mamprugu (north east region of Ghana) I spelled it the way the Mamprusi spell it, which is 'gongyi." Mampruli has a different orthography than Dagbani (spoken by their more populous tribal siblings) which spells it 'gonjey' or 'gonje'
@@DRUMNICOdotcom This traditional northern Ghanaian festival is based on the lunar calendar so it shifts forward by ~10 days every Roman calendar year. Coincidentally, Damba coincides with the Islamic holiday commemorating the prophet Mohammed's birthday (Mawlid), so it is relatively easy to identify when it will occur on a given calendar year. 2020 was October 29th, but 2024 will be September 15th. If you attended in 1999, it should have been around June 26th.
I have limited memories of this wonderful man....but he was one of my grandfather's best friends from dental school. My whole family speaks super highly of him and his entire family.. They definitely don't make em like they use to! Cheers to ya Dr. Fuller
This man never relented. He said he would keep coming back to Nalerigu for as long as they would let him. Dr Fuller, thank you for sharing your life with us and for impacting so many of us. Well done! Well done! Farewell!
lyrics: I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat and he is screaming and crying for help. And maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him than it ever did protecting myself And I believe, yeah dad, no one is perfect But I believe that you were pushing your luck it just sucks it played out like this, A terrible movie none of the actors even gave a fuck. But you look good tonight, girlfriend. Could I sleep in your bed? And when I crawl out in the morning, could I stay inside your head? Cuz you were highschool, and I was just more like real life. And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend but I was just more like his wife. And it is okay, I will wear the makeup I will do whatever he wants all night. Cuz you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend I was just more like his wife. A long, long, long, long, long, long time ago my great great great great grandfather took something that did not belong to him. And that is why today I have eagle in my veins, I am part Native American and I am leaving as soon as I come, as soon as I come you will probably forget my name And I hope I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car on the ride home, on the ride home. But you look good tonight girlfriend can I sleep in your bed? And when I crawl out in the morning, Could I stay inside of your head? Cuz you were highschool, and I was just more like real life And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend. But I was just more like his wife And it is okay, I will do the push-ups I’ll do whatever he wants all night. Cuz you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend. But I was just more like his wife. More like real life More like real life More like real life More like real, more like real, more like real, more like real Cuz you were highschool, and I was just more like real life And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend I was just more like his wife And it is okay, I’ll wear the makeup, do the pushups Whatever he wants all night Cuz you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend And I was just more like his wife, more like real life.
lyrics: I wonder how that bike trips going I wonder if the government knows he’s hiding It’d probably take a few more months Floria’s a long way from Rhode Island I watch her rest her hands inside her lap I try to focus hard because her eyes don’t make the frame I try to work up the courage, to kiss the bottom half of her face Amora cut her hair in Baltimore, right before I left I watch her sitting by herself, talking to herself Breathing calmly then trying to catch her breath. Casanova just can’t turn the charm on Or find any of the right vibrations I know these women if he don’t wanna do it Then they are probably just gonna make him you can never tell when they’re fucking around Everything you’re feeling is common Even though you’ve never felt so alone I could probably catch a ride to your house And borrow a bike to get back home She says you gotta promise not to break No matter how far you are bent She says I gotta shift your position, and try to get comfortable again. And we both chose the same tone, mine was an alarm clock, and was ringing from a cellphone Mouth the words to me so we can keep things quiet, and I’ll still know exactly what you mean. And it is probably just my friends just fucking around, yeah it is probably just my friends fucking around. They never cut me any slack. It’s just my friends fucking around.
Le jour où les croyants saurons qu'il ya que un Dieu pour tous nous vivrons en paix et serons moins manipulé par les religieux. Que le Seigneur nous vienne en aide❤❤❤❤
