Description:
The seprewa is not called 'soul of highlife' for nothing - it is likely to be the greatest African instrument you'll ever hear. This fresh and delicate, but seriously endangered, Ghanaian instrument is a cousin to the ever-popular kora from Mali, with a more earthy sound. Three virtuoso musicians have shared their ideas and passion to re-explore the traditional sounds of the seprewa and origins of highlife in an acoustic contemporary setting, with breathtaking results.
