Sansa Kroma is a popular folk song from the Akan people in Ghana, a country located along the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean, in West Africa. "Sansa" is a name, and "kroma" means eagle or hawk. The folk-legend of this song states that one day, Sansa Kroma was flying high in the noonday sky when she saw a flock of orphaned eagle chicks. She immediately hovered over them, picked them up and carried them back to her nest where she raised them as her own. Through this piece, Akan children are assured that if they are ever orphaned, someone in the village (or the entire village) will always nurture and provide for them. Sansa kroma SAHN-sah kroh-MAH Ne na wuo okyekyer nkoko mba Nee nay woo aw-CHAY-chay KOH-koh mah Sansa, the hawk, they are orphans. You go about finding food for the chicks.
