The outstanding musician from Northern Ghana King Ayisoba is coming today the 28th of October - and we cant wait to have his great company back here with us in Copenhagen. King Ayisoba plays the kologo, a two string instrument and has a voice out of this world, and during the next couple of weeks he will be giving performances at various venues here in Copenhagen.
King Ayisoba is from the Upper East Region of Ghana. He is a singer, lyricist and musician. His album ‘Modern Ghanaians’ is the fastest selling album by an artist from the Northern part of Ghana and it’s popularity has spread through Ghana like a bushfire. Singing in English, Twi and Frafra, King Ayisoba has struck a chord with the Ghanaian as well as international audience and has embraced his Kologo with great passion. As a master in playing the Kologo, he has already done lots of collaboration with many local artistes like: Batman, Sidney, Kontihene and the late Terry Bonchaka. His style can be classified as a unique form of Afro-beat with an emphasis on traditional music, which has captured fans around the globe.
King Ayisoba is part of the Sababas project that has been touring Denmark at festivals (Raggapak & TrailerPark) and various veunues (Karrierebar, Ideal Bar, Klaverfabrikken, Århus Musik Hus, Vartov etc.), and been doing workshops with youth at schools around denmark and in Tamale, Northern Ghana.
