Otrabanda Records Release Bokor Beats
Otrabanda Records joins in the celebrations of 50 years of Ghana's status as an independent nation on March 6, 2007 with the release of BOKOOR BEATS - Vintage afro-beat, afro-rock and electric highlife from Ghana (OTB08), its third CD of Ghanaian music.
March 6, 1957 heralded an upsurge in the production of all forms of local music. A great deal of Ghana's rich musical traditions have been documented, recorded and played by the musician/musicologist Professor John Collins.
His own Bokoor Band, founded in the 1970s, was at the forefront of blending western pop with indigenous African rhythms and musical traditions, inaugurating the first generation of so-called Afropop.
By the time it had disbanded Collins transformed it into Bokoor Studios where he went on to record over 200 artists in various genres including palmwine and electric highlife, afro-beat, afro-rock, afro-jazz, gospel, reggae and traditional drumming.
