Bio
After three years of work and research, the African Dj Akan from the ivory
Coast has decided to release the compilation Akwaba* (Africa Soul). This Compilation of Unique, Prolific almost ancestral songs have been heard by several generations of Africans. Yet they still are practically unknown to people in Europe, South America, Asia, North America, or the younger generation living in Western Europe.
The songs of Akwaba are from the 70s and the beginning of the 80s they can
be compared to the North American Soul of the seventies, all the songs are
from Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and the Ivory Coast.
With Different artists like Franco from Zaire, the late Prince Nico Mbarga
and his famous Rocafil Jazz (the Rocafil were a pair of high length stiletto shoes like the
Drag queens wear) from Nigeria, the late Ernesto Djedje from The Ivory Coast,
Etc.
Dj Akan decided to put together a compilation of tracks from a true Africans point of view, he felt that there were a lot of West European compilations that
Mentioned the term Afro-Beat, but where was the Afro side in these records?
All of the songs of Akwaba can be listen to by all music lovers worldwide like Producers,
Singers, Diggers, African music lovers, etc. when you listen to this album you can here all the African influences in all genres of music (house,
Drum & bass, rap, r&b)
What you have here are some classics of the African community, and the older generation will remember these songs and cherish them as if they were delicate souvenirs of a time past. This is a celebration to the parents all around the world before Kofi Olomide,
Youssou NDour or Femi Kuti, African music was big, never forget that...
Akwaba means welcome in Akan, this is a large West African ethnic group (Ivory Coast,
Ghana).
we are looping for an international distribution in vynile and cds, feel free to get in touch with me, this project is the first real one, and to have a serious reputation and the problem is to get in touch with a lot of this producers somme died or somme had lost the masters
so me and my friend Jazz E Cut we remastered all the tracks to have the best quality for the listeners.
If you enjoyed it feel free to contact me
