One Black Voice recently took his guitar and recorder and jumped the big pond, going Beyond Boundaries to the Motherland, yes, the Motherland. After years of writing, recording and releasing CDs on the beauty, wisdom and depth of Afrikan heritage, these were the real-deal physical experiences I won't forget.
Touchdown was in Ghana's capital city of Accra. That's West Afrika, home of the great, historic Asante kingdom, its famous gold trade, the late, great President Kwame Nkrumah and the first Afrikan nation to regain its independence from colonial rule. Touchpoints of the journey included Kumasi, the second-largest city and home of the kente cloth makers; way up north to Bolgatanga, where the beautiful baskets are woven; nearby to Sirigu and the all-women artists organization; and back down to the enslaved castles on the coast; and the Mole Game Reserve for a walking safari. The drums are calling me back already.
