Agongo

Agongo sings and plays the kologo, a two-stringed calabash lute which is the typical instrument of the Frafra people inthe upper east of Ghana. This is his first album backed by mainly traditional instruments instead of the electronic beats that often characterize modern kologo recordings. The idea was suggested by the internationally acclaimed kologo musician King Ayisoba, who has helped to create this project and makes a guest appearance on 'Suubala'. King Ayisoba is on a mission to promote kologo music worldwide, and Agongo's first release outside Ghana is another step towards its global expansion. Kologo power!
