Kumasi Trio
Fanti Guitar In West Africa 1928, Vol.1
These rare recordings are some of the first ever featuring traditional African music played on western instruments. This
cultural exchange led to completely new genres in music, most importantly, Highlife. Kumasi is a Gold Coast city in
Ghana, West Africa, that, at the time, did not feature much more than an open air market and one of the first British
department stores in the continent. The Trio is made up on H.E. Biney on guitar, Kwah Kanta on percussion, and Jacob Sam
on guitar, with all three contributing on vocals. The trio was brought to London to record these tracks in the Summer of
1928.
