I was invited to play some records for the Ghana music special at the Jam Jar in Bristol.

Was a real pleasure to warm up for K.O.G again plus incredible female vocalist Lamisi and Jambada, who are on the cusp of an exciting new project beginning this month :)

I Included music by Tafi all stars recorded on Autonomous Africa, a collaborative project to help musicians from Ghana’s Tafi cultural institute build a recording studio and performance space in their village. The power of music is undeniably beautiful.
