Info:
Releasing An Album Into The World Is A Special Moment For Any Artist But When You Re An Artist Who Grew Up In Remote Northern Ghana With No Schooling, Spending A Life Herding Cows And Goats, Building Your Own Instruments And Teaching Yourself To Sing, Then There S A Particular Sense Of Occasion And Celebration In Finding Recognition And An Audience For That Music. This Is The Case For Guy One, An Utterly Unique Artist Who Is Writing And Performing Frafra Music, A Style That Originates From A Small Area In The North Of Ghana. Whilst Guy One Is Already Loved And Adored Locally By Now - Building Up A Fervent Following In Local Villages In Which No Funeral Or Wedding Would Take Place Without His Soaring Voice And Deeply Rhythmic Playing, Before Then Transforming Into An Award-winning, Tv Appearing Artist In Ghana - His Music Is Now To Find A Much Wider Audience Through Max Weissenfeldt S Philophon Label (jimi Tenor, Hailu Mergia, Alemayehu Eshete) On This Berlin Meets Bolgatanga Release.
