If I ever went to Africa, Ghana is one of the countries that most interests me. I can't really explain why – it's partly related to my econo-geekery: Ghana is a remarkable economic success story, in many respects, in a region replete with disasters. That, in and of itself, is interesting. But as the culture grows more prosperous, it takes on the trappings of the globalized bourgeois everywhere. One aspect: pop music and videos.
I spent part of the afternoon yesterday watching Ghanian music videos. This is inexplicable.
What I'm listening to right now.
Becca, "Daa Ke Daa."
And meanwhile, reading Henry James. Why did I ever dislike this author?
