MusicXChange released a new song by Osei Korankye on May 5th, and it’s #bandcampfriday! It will be available to listen and download on Bandcamp, featuring original sounds from Ghana, and unique highlife rhythms!
Osei Korankye is amongst the master performers and interpreters of Ghana’s seprewa musical tradition, the harp of the Ashanti people of Ghana!
Osei's grandfather Opanin Kwabena Agyarko rediscovered through dream this unique instrument, which originally came from the Sahara, and it has been present for a long time among various Akan groups. Then it almost disappeared as guitar playing started spreading from the coast...but the legacy still lives on!
Here is an incredible live performance from Osei Korankye's beautiful voice and mystical instrument, singing to remind all of we about the importance of love in everyday life and works.
Enjoy!
