V.I.P.’s performing…but first we need support
Oy, potential sponsors are giving us a hard time. So…your support on IndieGogo would be great. Medasi paa (thanks very much) for what we’ve already received, you guys are great. Video’s up, btw.
On the bright side, Nima’s own hip life music group V.I.P. has agreed to perform. The event itself is going to rock, now we just have to get the funds.
VIP performing at Ghana Meets Nigeria at the Conference Center last Friday...just wait til they hit their home streets of Nima
Workshops started Tuesday. The kids were so into it that Larry stayed at the Anani International School for three hours. When he finally came to meet us, his hands were covered in clay or some kind of white dust. He had to ko na koju allay (“go and bath,” I think – a taxi driver taught me that) before we could film his clip for the video.
P.S. Yesterday my friend Zip showed me this pidgin musical film “Coz Ov Moni,” of the artists Wanlov and M3NSA (whom prof Jesse Shipley’s filmed videos for) goofing around rapping about a typical day/adventure in Accra. A perfect ode to Ghana. Much of it’s filmed in Nima.
