Akwaboa's Band - Onuapa Due

Review by Don Boivin

Akwaboa's Band has released their latest album, Onuapa Due, which features a unique blend of traditional Ghanaian music and contemporary sounds. The album is a perfect representation of the band's ability to fuse different styles of music to create a cohesive and enjoyable listening experience.

The opening track, "Odo Nyi Akyere Me," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The use of traditional instruments such as the xylophone and the talking drum adds an authentic feel to the song. The following track, "Yenfa Odo," slows things down with its smooth and soulful vocals, accompanied by a mellow guitar riff.

The album continues to showcase the band's versatility with tracks such as "Obiara Nni Ho" and "Onipa Ye Na." The former features a lively call and response chorus, while the latter has a more laid-back feel with its use of a reggae-inspired rhythm.

Akwaboa's Band also pays homage to their roots with the track "Adowa Medley," which features a medley of different Adowa songs. The use of traditional Adowa rhythms and instrumentation creates a nostalgic and celebratory feel.

Summary by Don Boivin

Onuapa Due is a fantastic album that showcases Akwaboa's Band's ability to create music that is both authentic and modern. The album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty of Ghanaian music.
