A Twist on the Random Tune: Ignace de Souza & the Melody Aces with "Asaw Fofor"

Ignace de Souza & The Melody Aces bring us today's tune, called Asaw Fofor. From Benin, Ignace de Souza began his music career in the 1950s in what was then the country of Dahomey (Benin's predecessor) and absorbed many different styles of music including cha cha, afrobeat, and especially Ghanaian highlife - he migrated to Ghana in 1955. This song, however, is a twist, which he also occasionally did. You can find Asaw Fofor on the 2018 various artists compilation African Scream Contest 2.
