Black Star Jam

Tomorrow Ghana will try to the impossible: become the first African nation to go to the semi-finals of the World Cup.  Two African countries came close, but failed: Cameroon in 1990 (in a thrilling match with England determined by dodgy refereeing) and Senegal in 2002 (against Turkey). But Ghana seems to the real thing. But to do that Ghana has  to overcome Uruguay, a team who play with a goalkeeper, 8 defenders and two world class strikers.

A good way to get fired up for this match is with the World Cup hit “Football Jama” by Ghanaians Richy Pitch, Sway and M3NSA from London and Accra and in-between.

Trumpets and percussion played by some devoted Black Star fans round out the mix. Bring on Uruguay.

  2. On the basis of this video, I’d say that the Ghana team is ready. Call it esprit de corps.

    @Koranteng: I woke up to that video in my inbox. “Higher, higher, lower, lower.” I think I last heard that in Sunday school back in South Africa.
