Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy + Modou Ndiaye

This June we present an exhilarating showcase of Fra Fra Gospel music from Northern Ghana, featuring vibrant afrobeat instrumentals, transcendental percussion-heavy polyrhythms & soulful vocals.

This tremendous 8-piece band is comprised of lead vocalist Alogte Oho, a powerful female gospel choir and melodic brass and synth players, making for a heavily grooving and uplifting live show!⁠

Directed by Max Weissenfeldt, “O Yinne” is their second album, recorded in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Kingdom, deep in the tropical rainforest of Ghana. It's an Afro-futuristic firework of pentatonic vocal explosions, carried by rolling and infectious West African rhythms.⁠

On support is Bristol's Modou Ndiaye, a virtuoso kora player, vocalist, drummer and percussionist with a superb repertoire of rhythms fusing together traditional and modern beats. He plays a variety of West African instruments ranging from djembe, sabar, calabash and talking drum to his leading instrument – the 22 stringed kora (West African Harp). Modou is a member of the famous Cissokho family of Griot musicians and oral historians from the Cassamance region of Southern Senegal.

Presented by Strange Brew.
