Boboobo Ewe – Ghana
Shane Barnowski,* trumpet
African Ensemble & Asé Xpressions
Boboobo is a musical creation with roots in Ghana’s independence and highlife music. Also known as Agbeyeye or Akpese, Boboobo originated from Kpando in the Volta Region of Ghana through the ingenuity of Francis Cudjoe Nuatro. Boboobo is presently the most popular social music and dance of the central and northern Ewes of Ghana and Togo. It is generally performed at funerals and other social occasions. Boboobo music and dance ceremony is performed principally in a circular formation.
Kpanlogo Ga – Ghana
African Ensemble & Asé Xpressions
Kpanlogo is the most recent of all Ga recreational dance drumming musical types, and offshoot of Gome, Oge, Kolomashie, and Konkoma. Kpanlogo emerged during the wake of Ghana’s independence as a dance-drumming musical type for entertainment in Accra mostly for the youth. This music is therefore described as the dance of the youth. Kpanlogo is presently performed at various social and political events in Ghana.
Free and open to the public.
