Originally released in 1979 as "Africa - Ancient Ceremonies, Dance Music & Songs of Ghana" (Nonesuch Cat#: H-72082) with the album cover image that is included in the BEA entry, the album which this writer possess is called "Ghana: Ancient Ceremonies, Songs And Dance Music" and the re-issue released on the Elektra Nonesuch Explorer Series (Cat#: 9 72082-2), has an updated cover and liner notes by Stephen Jay. An interesting collection of field recordings, gives the listener insight into African instrumentation, melody and rhythms.
