Биография

From their East London studio, Raz Olsher and Afla Sackey are creating a truly exciting brand of afro-house deeply anchored in West African musical traditions, with catchy vocal harmonies and percussion-heavy arrangements. An unprecedented musical fusion which owes much to its creators' experience, as true mainstays of the London music scene for the past twenty years. Since his arrival in the UK, Ghanaian musician Afla Sackey has been fronting his own band Afrik Bawantu and collaborating with afrofuturistic sound pioneers such as Osibisa, Tony Allen, Shabaka and Sons Of Kemet.

The EP sets the tone for their upcoming debut album, "The Cycle", to be released by like-minded record label Mawimbi Records (Afriquoi, Jally Kebba Susso, Onipa, LOYA...)
