the similarities to the Bele dance from the french caribbean is so strong i got goose bumps. i strongly believe we were taken form Ghana and if its true i'm proud of it
I read a research article about Caribbean English patois on which it was demonstrated that the syntax is the same as in Twi and Ga. There is still a lot of African culture that is still part of Caribbean culture. It's just called something else. Everytime a Jamaican says unu (you all), he/she is speaking Igbo. It's even spelled the same.
Coco Lahtay I am not sure how to spell it. But when I was learning Twi; unu was also used for you all. I think it was spelled a little differently though.
The Ga-Dangbe tribe extends to Togo, a coastal colony of France during the French slave trade. Before this tribe emigrated in the 1600s, they likely lived in present-day Mali and Niger, which were also colonies of France.

Dear Jason, Do you have any transcriptions of the words/music to these songs. I traveled to Ghana a few summers ago and I am always looking for new songs to learn/sing/perform... Kpanlogo or other :-) Thank you!
