FLORENCE ADOONI
FLORENCE ADOONI
Ghana
Florence Adooni is part of the extremely lively Frafra gospel scene in Ghana. Born and raised in the Ashanti capital of Kumasi, the epicenter of high-life music, her style differs from the original Frafra gospel as it is played in Northern Ghana. She has surrounded herself with the best young high-life musicians in the city and now combines the soul of the northern savannah with the sound of the rainforest region in a unique way. It combines the best of both cultures to create a unique sound, a melodic and rhythmically pulsating highlife, in which local Ghanaian traditions are combined with inspirations from pop, rock and jazz. Her debut single “Mam Pe’ela Su’ure” on Philophon Records has been well received both in Ghana and around the world. Their music has soul, charm and is bursting with talent from everyone involved.
