Ahemaa Nwomkro, which means queens of Nwomkro, are Victoria Osei and Theresa Owusuaa. Nwomkro is an old Ashanti musical style, which played an influential role in the origin of the typical more roots-like Highlife style of Kumasi, the cultural capital of Ghana in the middle of the jungle. On this release the two singers have teamed up with the young generation of Highlife muicians of Kumasi. On guitar is Akule Pepe, who served for years in the group of Highlife legend Alex Konadu, the most on demand band in its time. The two songs are a rare example of how good pure Nwomkro gets together with typical Highlife. credits releases May 21, 2021 Victoria Osei - Vocals Theresa Owusuaa - Vocals Akule Pepe - Guitar King Fii - Bass Boutique - Drums Kofi Emma - Kpanlogo Drums Muggy - Percussion, Synthesizers Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Max Weissenfeldt at Joy Sound Studios, Kumasi Vinyl Cut by Jukka Sarapää at Timmions Cuttings, Helsinki Cover Art by Florence Adooni, Kumasi Photo by Max Weissenfeldt Graphics by Jana Weiz, Berlin Product Management by Angelika Schwarz at HWC, Berlin Executive Producer: Max Weissenfeldt P + © Philophon e.K. 2420 s.c.
