This is truly groovy music. It reminds me of the brass bands from India and New Orleans, with that same “dancing in the streets” (or as you said, carnival “parade style”) feeling. Thanks.

Greetings again Moos. Digging deeper on this one following your recent post, it seems from discogs that this track list fits a different album: Wo Tese Mawu A Didi.
https://www.discogs.com/Asiakwa-Brass-Band-Wo-Tese-Mawu-A-Didi/release/1839193
But your album has the cover art from yet another album of theirs. Strange mixups happen in the world of re-releases.
