      Hello, my native language is Dutch because I'm a Belgian women. Like to cook food from allover the world so also from ghana. This is one of the songs I sing from beginning to end without understanding a word but no wurrys aslong as the food is heavenly who cares. 😋 Because my husband(Burkina B) grow up in ghana I cook more often ghanian food. Alod of greatings from Belgium.

    This wonderful masterpiece just tapped into somewhere deep in my soul; tapped somewhere long lost and forgotten in my life. It brought the stream of childhood memories of which I couldn’t even begin to imagine. Then somebody clearly pointed out that it preceded Hearts-Kotoko games in the 80s. And I had a connection straight away. But still my soul hurts, I can’t remember the exact thing or place, but I know this song had been a part of my childhood. And it made me calm then and still gives me that fleeting feeling of peace and at oneness with myself. Thank you, Wulomei… This is a timeless classic.

      It’s basically means;
      There’s a certain gentleman from Sempe (A town in Ghana)
      He is such a good looking man, and gives unconditional love.
      He came around to wake me from my sleep
      I asked him “what is the matter?”
      He told me “I’m in a hurry”
      And I asked him “Where are you taking me in such a hurry?”
      “We’re going to Meridian in Tema (A town in Ghana). We’re going to dine, drink, and dance.” He replied.
      It’s basically just that on repeat.

    Wulomei is a Ghanaian music group that was founded in 1973 by Nii Tei Ashitey,[1] with the encouragement of the dramatist and musician Saka Acquaye. Acquaye managed the band and wrote some of the music.
    Ashitey had previously been a percussionist for the Tempos led by E.T. Mensah, Tubman Stars and Worker's Brigade highlife bands, but decided to create a more "rootsy" sound to, as he once put it, "bring something out for the youth to progress and to forget foreign music and do their own thing".
    During the 1970s and 1980s, Wulomei made a number of successful tours to Europe and the United States.

    Except for an amplified guitar, played with the West African finger picking style, Wulomei's instruments are indigenous, with *atenteben bamboo flutes* and a lot of traditional local percussion that includes the *giant gombe frame drums,* which provide a deep percussive "bass-line".
    *Wulomei* play old Ga and Liberian sea shanties, gome songs, and the kolomashie and kpanlogo recreational songs of Accra and also Akan highlife music.
    To portray the band's indigenous orientation, Wulomei's performers wear the *white or yellow cloth and frilly hats* of the Wulomei or traditional priests and priestesses of the Ga people of Accra.
