Just like in the US, Africa has a nice little list of horribly overplayed popular songs. These songs are the "Poker Face" the "Boom Boom Pow" and the "Hot n Cold" of the francophone African countries. In case you guys wonder which songs have been getting drilled into my head on all our long long commutes, feel free to check out these youtube links. Beware, if you don't like hip hop, you may not be in to this playlist. I don't think I'd be that thrilled by it if I hadn't heard each of these songs a billion times. It's also worth noting that not all of these songs are produced in Ghana. In fact, the Sean Kingston song is American, and the "Do Me" and "Bumper to Bumper" songs are from Nigeria. I'm not sure about where the other songs were produced.

Cool. I'll certainly write more later, but right now about ten new volunteers just arrived and I'm helping them get acclimated. I thought I would post these songs because I was introducing them to the songs they are going to get to know well while they're here. When I write next, I'll tell you about how everything I own is dripping wet from when my bedroom got flooded with three inches of water when the sink exploded. Haha, oh Ghana.
