lyrics

"Birifor Night"
Traditional gyil Arrangement of Pire Music- (Lobi/Dagara).
Featuring:
Erik Lawrence- curved soprano saxophone
Gina Ferrera- gyil, percussion

-This live interview features the voice of Tampura Dansora, translated by Okutu Moses. The interview was recorded in Tinson Yiiri, a Birifor Village in northern Ghana, July 2005. I was among about 8 villagers all squatting under a tree in the night. I was passing the microphone around in translation, asking Tampura to share information about the gyil music tradition. At the end of the song, Tampura teaches me how to say “Liiri” (the Birifor word for the wood used to make gyil) and “Birifor” (the name of the people and language they speak in that village). Erik and I recorded the music in Philadelphia.
