KING AYISOBA AND BAND (Ghana)
This is the traditional kologo music from the Upper East Region of
Ghana brought with the energy and flavor of the twenty first century.
King Ayisoba sings in Frafra, Twi and in English and is a big star in
Ghana. There is a whole new scene now starting after King Ayisoba
introduced the super catchy kologo beats to the bigger audiences in
Ghana and abroad. The kologo is a two string guitar with a calabash
gourd resonator, it is rhythmic and melodic at the same time. The King
is bringing other musicians and dancers on this tour, dancing the
traditional Frafra dia and kologo dances from the area of Bongo in
Northern Ghana. The dance consists of very high jumbs and originates
from hunting rituals. Aboku Adortanga (dancer and dorgo player) is
King Ayisoba’s brother and is a master in playing the ”Dorgo”, a
special horn from Northern Ghana used in the traditional Frafra
tradition of music. The sound resembles a lamb calling out loud and
was original used by the Frafra people in the forest to gather the
village people to come and hunt.

Traditionaly kologo performances occur at local pito bars, weddings,
funerals, festivals or spontaneous jams on the street. Today we will
see the force and spirit here, around the corner, learn wise lessons
and dig up the future.

ZEA (NL, The EX)
Zea is a breakpop mono from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Armed with guitar, mic, drum machines, sampler and synths, Arnold de Boer comes with fast-paced programmed drums, copious synth work, guitars that go from jangly to strummy on a moment’s notice, and vocals that chant as much as they sing; 8-bit electronic sounds exploding all over the place, and at the same time a poptune isn’t out of the question either.

”Arnold de Boer deploying guitar and sampler for an almighty bout of crazily high energy songs – urgent lyrics over guitar, roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. Joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers.”
