Note: These recordings are perfect for introducing young learners to the sound of musical instruments played in Ghana. Some cuts are traditional; others are contemporary. All give a flavor of African music past and present. Many instruments, such as drums, gourd rattles, guitars, and finger pianos are familiar to many cultures throughout the world and are widely used throughout Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. This pointer should be accentuated during the teaching of this unit.
