Bonze Konkoma, a 13-piece outfit, brings a unique and vibrant blend of Highlife, Afrobeat and Jazz, for which Taylor digs deep into Fante-Akan music like Asafo or Adzewa.
In musicians’ circles, Ebo Talyor´s name and style resonates with those of his Nigerian contemporaries Fela Kuti and Tony Allen. His performance will showcase once more the creative spirit and artistic accomplishment of this outstanding Ghanaian artist and bandleader.
