Music
The headline act. Songs, music films, and history documentaries — all of it lives on the Jollof Beats YouTube channel.
Start with “More Water In My Cup” — the song at the top of the catalogue, and the one the story behind the song is being written about.
Then the films: the Ghana Kingdoms documentaries and the Sundiata season, told with narration and music.
