Literal chills. The poem is so powerful- which is older? The river or the path? The river, the source of life, is older, made by the creator of the universe. Humans built the path to reach the source of life. There are so many layers to the meaning of that poem and I love it.
So does one tone or pitch correspond to just one single word in the vocabulary so that when it's played it is immediately recognised no matter the context? Or are words recognised contextually when played in a specific arrangement/combination? For example, if someone plays the tune of twinkle twinkle, I would immediately recognise it and know the words?
The lion story with the drum is not true. When did people in Ghana use Dondo to warn people of lion approaching? Please teach what is real not saying anything because you want to make money in the West.

Lol no baby.
