Ghana
Ghanaian artists Efya, Kyekyeku, Yaa Pono, Ayisoba and Cwesi Oteng perform songs especially for the ±«Óãtv, and talk about what inspires them in Ghana and beyond.
Seven up-and-coming Ghanaian musicians perform songs especially for the ±«Óãtv and talk about what inspires them in Ghana and beyond. Efya, queen of Afro pop, was discovered through a talent show, and recently nominated for the World Music Awards. Kyekyeku is giving a modern twist to traditional palm wine music and making Ghanaians chuckle with his witty lyrics. There’s also Yaa Pono, with a unique rocking rap, and Ayisoba, with his distinctive gruff voice and northern style, plus gospel artist Cwesi Oteng.
The programme is presented by Rita Ray, respected London DJ and authority on African music, who is originally from Ghana herself.
