Ghana’s The Sweet Talks
Today we give you the smoking sounds of The Sweet Talks, one of Ghana’s most successful and innovative groups from the 1960s and 70s. One of their seminal recordings, The Kusum Beat, has recently become available on CD. Good thing, the original edition on vinyl could put you in triple digit dollars on eBay. Plus, The Kusum Beat is just a super-groovy recording.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
