For "Saving the Songwood: Global Consumption, Sustainability, and Value" in Ecomusicology Review Featuring: Tijan Dorwana performing Pɔcɔbɔ In Saru, Ghana, residents are intricately connected with their surrounding forest-savanna. From toys for children, to ingredients in food, to house construction, to spiritual value, trees and bushes are an important part of everyday life. For example, the ko tie (mahogany tree) and tiyere tie (nymph tree) are both valued for their medicinal properties. Kpal tie (ebony tree), lera tie (African rosewood), and others are used for house and local bench construction. Apart from house, local bench, and xylophone key construction, leaves from lera are commonly used as fodder for livestock. This video shares about everyday tree and bush usages by Birifor people.
