This Is Frafra Power
"In the summer of 2017 Francis Ayamga, drummer in King Ayisoba's band, gave me a penn-drive filled with music he
recorded over the last couple of years in his studio in Bongo, in the North of Ghana. I got curious, listened through
all the tracks and discovered a lot of fantastic music from local artists hardly anyone knows. Most of the songs are
sung in Frafra, the language of the region. We decided to make a compilation. I made a selection from more than two
hundred tracks and in January 2018 I traveled to Bongo to meet the musicians, interview them, make videos and take
pictures. We recorded the whole Zenabu women group outside the small studio with one microphone since they did not fit
inside. It became a wonderful overview of the local music scene in Bongo, the village King Ayisoba is originally from.
In January 2019 I go back to Bongo and we will have a big release party of this album. King Ayisoba is already very busy
preparing everything!" ~Arnold de Boer/Makkum Records/Zea, Amsterdam, December 2018.
