New Album: Sor by Kyekyeku

Straight from the capital of Highlife, this is already one of our favourite albums for the year.
'Sor' is the kind of album that remains in your cd player for the whole summer. It has everything: Afrobeat, Ghanaian highlife and a strong message.
-Tony Heynen @ Global Riddims (Belgium)-

Sor was Recorded in Accra, Ghana in December 2016 by Kyekyeku and the band 5 Days No Light Off.
As people kept a low profile during the collation of election results (out of fear, high tensions with streets deserted), a perfect backdrop of calm and quiet had been provided from Accra's noisy streets and churches.
To our relief, in the hope of gaining votes, the ruling government had put the erratic electricity power supply on hold. Our studio located in a noisy neighbourhood with not so good isolation from all the noise had suddenly gotten a perfect situation to record and still leave the windows open(no AC).
We took the chance to cut this record of tunes largely based on themes of social shortcomings in Ghana, Africa and the world. While the tunes are largely uptempo, they also call for deep thoughts about life and strength to carry on.
Style: we were largely influenced by Ghanaian Highlife music of Alex Konadu and J.A. Adofo on tracks such as 'Africa Voodoo Party' and by Afrobeat from Ebo Taylor and Fela Kuti on tracks such as 'Goose and Gander'. Yet we attempted putting our own signature and sound on the final materials.
The result is the album #Sor, one that brings to you our live music sound, vibes and energy which we are extremely happy to share with the world on upcoming dates. its been awesome seeing the response of the audience some of these songs during concerts at The New Morning-Paris(France), Afropolitan Festival at Bozar(Brussels), Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar, Tanzania and Visa For Music in Rabat(Morocco). Now it is on record for your listening pleasure.
