Santrofi

Bio

Santrofi is a vintage-inspired highlife, funk & Afrobeat band from Ghana.

Th group is a collective of celebrated young musicians known within Ghana's music circles. Led by Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area band's bass player Emmanuel Ofori, are a force of nature deeply informed by vintage Ghanaian highlife music in all its forms - some largely unknown to the world ranging from the smelting soulful highlife sound that can only be nurtured by Accra’s afternoon scorch, to the riveting fast-paced pulse of 70s dance-guitar highlife, or to the other-worldly sound of Highlife funk, 50s big band highlife or the polyrhythmic beats and melodies that took Afrobeat across the globe. This wall of sound, although long lost and forgotten, is back with effortless ease and with a progressive edge like it never left.

Santrofi has on electric lead guitars, Dominic Quarchie (Ghana's Music Awards' winner of Instrumentalist of the year 2018), on rhythm guitar and lead vocals Nsoroma, Benard Gyamfi on trombone and shekere, Norbert Wonkyi on trumpet, flugelhorn and bells, Prince Larbi on drums, Emmanuel Boakye Agyemang on organs, fender rhodes, Victor Nii Amoo on percussions and Kofi ‘IamBeatMenace' as audio engineer and brands coordinator.
