    !!!!!Point of correction!!!!! Further research indicates that, the group for the Nwomkro album is called Nana Baayie Nwomkro. It was led by Yaa Abrafi who happened to be the group's lead vocalist.

    We need to keep our Ashanti heritage by ensuring that our kids speak as well as understand twi. we mustn't be ashamed as I observe some parents to be. we are ASHANTI. if we truly have any idea what it means to be one, then we will do to embrace this beautiful by impacting the MOST TO THE MAX on our kids who are born and bred in affluent parts of the word. its ignorance to feel otherwise from my perspective. we need to travel back home to Ghana with our kids to see the historical aspects of Ghana waylay more. take out to villages instead of just excessively westernised places like Accra. Please lets help each other to keep our very little Ashanti culture history of adowa, Kete, nwmkoro etc. and the twi language as UNTAINTED and alive as possible.

    For those asking for translation When English is not ones first language sometimes it's very hard to translate. Im an Ashanti Royal from Ejisu great great great granddaughter of Nana Yaa Asantewaa. What makes it difficult is because in these dirge music, a lot of metaphors, ideoms and proverbs are used and honestly i dont know how to translate to English. I wish i could. Sorry. Maybe some Asante scholar will find this request and translate accurately. .

    I stumbled upon Koo-Nimo and this beautiful music as a young white boy traveling West Africa for the first time in 1998. So blessed to have met and studied with Koo.. Such beautiful, kind, caring people, music, culture and tradition. Long live Ghana and the Ashanti heritage. Beautiful.

    Can anyone imagine what we have lost?! If all the Great Afrikan groups developed without interruption, Afrika would be one very mighty place just like it was during the Ancient period of KMT.. I know it's no good dwelling on the past and what could or couldn't have happened but I can't help wondering...
