Okyeman Cultural Ensemble Here To Stay!
They are noted for their mastery in artistic dancing and with very unique singing prowess. Their kind of music is a blend of traditional with modern rhythms.
This is no other group than the Okyeman Cultural Ensemble, and it comprises locally based musicians and dancers. In an exclusive interview with DAILY Analyst, the Founder and Leader of Okyeman Cultural Ensemble, Mr G.K.N. Amofa, asserted that his group has come to stay!
Mr Amofa, who founded the group and hails from Kibi Apapam in the Eastern Region, disclosed that his group specialises in dazzling audiences both home and abroad with its artistic dancing and singing skills.
He said he started his music and dancing career from a humble beginning in Jamestown, a suburb of Accra in the Greater Accra Region, which was where he was born and bred. He intimated his stay in Jamestown enabled him to connect with Gas in Jamestown, which helped tremendously in molding his music career.
According to him, he first started with the formation of Okyeman Records which membership included past members of Nyanyala Creation Production. And this is what has metamorphosed into what today is known as the Okyeman Cultural Ensemble, he added.
Although Okyeman Cultural Ensemble is rooted in traditional music, Mr Amofa explained that his group had developed a new brand of music and dance. He said the group sometimes collaborates with WOMBA Africa of Nungua to perform at various functions.
He said in addition to singing and dancing, the Okyeman Cultural Ensemble was into event organisation, sound engineering and cultural troupe.
The group, he went on to add, is noted for its innovative rhythms and dance.
“Okyeman Cultural Ensemble fuses of brass and lead guitar with electrifying jazz and African rhythms carefully blended with traditional Ghanaian instrumentals,” Mr Amofa indicated.
Furthermore, he said the group portrays the rich culture of the Akyem people in a very dramatic way. “…and this we do through drums, songs, dance, costumes and during festivities,” he said.
He told this paper that among the drums they used are "Mpintin," "Mmomaa," "Kete," "Fontonfrom," etc.
He noted that Okyeman Cultural Ensemble also performs on different occasions including during funeral celebrations and multicultural festivities.
“We also get invitations to go and perform outside the country,” he revealed.
He noted that in the group’s quest to carve a niche for itself, they have championed the art of dazzling audiences home and around the world with spectacular and sterling performances..
Okyeman Cultural Ensemble have enjoyed dazzling audiences in Ghana, Europe and South Africa.
