Music and History in West Africa

As my first study abroad experience, Ghana was better than anything I'd ever expected. Living across the street from the local beach, for starters, was like a dream. I have never felt so comfortable in such a foreign place so quickly. The people were outstanding. Having the opportunity to get professional drum lessons and learn first hand the history of a village I was assigned to brought me that much closer to the culture of Ghana. Learning the history of a country is interesting, but when you're actually there you want to learn as much as you can as fast as you can. I couldn't get enough.
