Audio: Wanlov the Kubulor + King Ayisoba's Humanitarian Notes


Wanlov the Kubulor and King Ayisoba released these two tracks in support of HIV/AIDS non-profit Humanitarian Notes. King Ayisoba tackles a common sanitation issue over finger-plucked strings in "Wash Your Hands. While Wanlov, as per usual, keeps things off-kilter and sings from an impregnating sperm cell's perspective (for real) in "Mummy Please." Stream both tracks below and buy them from HN's Ghana Music Project.
