Detty December: "21 Nights in Accra"

The final episode of Zazi’s first season takes the listeners to Accra (Ghana) to unpack the lifestyle associated with "Detty December” (Dirty December). Indeed, it has become a ritual for Africans in the UK/US diaspora to return to Accra and indulge in all the festivities Ghana has to offer during the month of December. The hosts are joined in this discussion by Gabriel Myers Hansen, a prolific Ghanaian music writer and author of the upcoming essay, “21 Nights in Accra”.
