So there I was on Wednesday evening around 9.30pm at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel, located "within 3-6 minutes drive of USAID, the World Bank Office, Danish, Canadian, German, Swiss, Nigerian and American Diplomatic Missions, Ghana Immigration Service and National Theatre, Government Ministries and the Accra Intentional Center, all on “traffic free” routes."(from: http://www.coconutgrovehotels.com.gh/Regency/regency_index.htm on private business with my parents when I heard feedback from the car's radio as we approached.
It was CITI-97.3FM--the Accra-based English speaking private radio station, which you can listen to in crystal-clear quality wherever you are in the world (I know, cos people from Germany and the UK have been calling in the 8.45am regular phone-ins to the CITI Breakfast Show; and listeners send emls from South Africa and the US!)--hosting its weekly Wednesday Salsa Mania event, where Latin American tunes are played, and people get FREE Salsa lessons.
Guess you never thought Salsa was big in Accra. Now you know;-)
Oh yeah, you see the guy on the left of this picture wearing a tie, and holding his mobile phone, with a document, or so, under his left arm?
Definitely middle class!

Salsa huh? I'm going to sound like my mom and say, whatever happened to our traditional dances?
Salsa's cool though :-)
Baile a Salsa! How fun. I often do housework to West African pop (viva Amadou & Miriam!). I know--very middle class. . .;^)
