Green Music Center presents Okaidja Afroso: Jaku Mumor – Ancestral Spirit
March 6 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$30 – $80
A multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and dancer, Okaidja Afroso hails from a family of musicians and storytellers from the fishing village of Kokrobite on Ghana’s west coast.
Often performed in his native language, Afroso’s genre-defying songs convey a whole spectrum of experiences—joy, harmony, tragedy, and hope—that embrace what he calls “the rich complexity of the integrated world we inhabit.” Through his distinctive style, Afroso explores the perseverance of ancestral traditions and creates a new, contemporary African oral tradition.
