In Heavy Rotation: KonKoma – KonKoma – Soundway

KonKoma – Accra Jump

Long known for reissuing fantastic sounds primarily out of Africa, Soundway has spent most of 2012 putting out fantastic contemporary music from all over the world (particular attention has to be paid to the Ondatrópica project which was just in LA for a stellar show!). KonKoma is based out of London, but has it’s roots primarily in Ghana by virtue of Alfred Bannerman and Emmanuel Rentzos, long-time members of afro-rock group Osibisa. That in itself should be enough to garner a listen, but then add Nostalgia 77’s Ben Lamdin into the mix plus production work from Prince Fatty and the result is truly golden.
