Sometimes, you happen upon another blog that opens your mind, your heart and your spirit.
This one did. For more information on what is happening in Ghana, visit her blog here.
She writes,

She drew my attention to the video below.

"Zingolo is the first single from Glass and a Half Full Records.
Download via iTunes.
Cadburys share of profits from the sale of the track go to the charity CARE International.
Ghana is the heart of Cadbury Dairy Milks Fairtrade Cocoa and so the track celebrates all things Ghanaian: its people, its rappers, its dancers, its cultural figures and, of course, its cocoa beans.
So turn up your speakers, get down and ZINGOLO!"
