The Afrobeat renaissance – with Nigerian artistes such as Wizkid, Davido and D’banj at the forefront- has caught the attention of some global superstar artistes, who have incorporated elements of afrobeats into some of their music-Drake and Alicia Keys are worth mentioning.

STARGO IS A PROBLEM

Since announcing his BAR III Mixtape and subsequently releasing both the track list and features list, I have gone back to listening to BAR I (2014) and BAR II (2015) respectively.

How Ko-Jo Cue Spoke About The Ghanaian (Man) on “Ewiase”

Before the first set of lyrics pours over the beat and long before the soulful hook cocoons you; it is those loud, hard hitting, church-esque piano chords and the gently introduced high-hats, and low drumlines beneath the big chiming chords that peaks your interest. They get you desiring to hear, impatiently the words that comes next. Even before the birth […]

THROW BACK: NANA QUAME: TWE MA ME

NANA QUAME. This name should not sound strange to the ears of those who have followed Ghana music, especially highlife music (contemporary) for more than a decade.  He is/was among the few whose music helped spearhead highlife into its 4th evolutionary phase (the genre moved from traditional, classical, burger to what is called contemporary highlife) The chubby looking, smooth voiced […]

CONCERT REVIEW: CINA SOUL PROVED SHE IS READY TO TAKE HER SPOT AT METANOIA X CONCERT

Forgive the fact that her mic went off during the performance of the acoustic ballad ‘Lovers Tiff’ with guitarist Nii Quaye. Ignore the factthat rapper M.anifest didn’t show up for the rendition of the soulful tune ‘Julor’. All other things came full cycle, making the night memorable. Under the dimly light amphitheater stage, Cina Soul formally introduced herself to the […]
