"After releaseing two compilations of music from Ghana's Upper East region; the 'This Is Kologo Power' sampler (MR16), filled with acoustic kologo music from the main kologo stars of today, and the 'This Is Frafra Power' album (MR24) bringing the world the modern beat driven hiplife, gospel and rap from the local scenes, we are now back with ten productions fresh from the Top Link studio that define what one of Ghana's most intruiging
producers himself calls Zologo Beat. Francis Ayamga, the singers, rappers and musicians together all take the freedom
of writing and producing their music standing with one foot in the traditional rhythms and scales of the Fare Fare tribe while leaping into the unknown twisting synths and samplers completely to their own liking. I have visited the place many times, spent many nights and days hanging out with Ayamga and all the musicians around him and it is all super inspiring. With this selection I have tried to catch that spirit; fierce, energetic, joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers." ~Arnold de Boer, Makkum Records, Amsterdam 2023. The main language on this album is Fare Fare, the regional language in Ghana's Upper East region. 'Zologo' means 'crazy' in Fare Fare (also known as Frafra). All tracks recorded, mixed and produced by Francis Ayamga at Top Link studio in Bongo, Ghana. All beats, synths and bleeps by Francis Ayamga. Track 4 - kologo by Prince Buju, track 10 - sinyaka by Dondada. Mastering by Arnold de Boer, Amsterdam, NL. Pictures by Francis Ayamga, artwork by Arnold
de Boer.
