Santrofi

In Ghanaian Akan mythology, Santrofi is a very rare, brightly coloured bird with four wings. It symbolizes prosperity, beauty and the power of song. It is therefore not surprising that the band Santrofi has attached their name to this. Santrofi makes vintage highlife, funk and afrobeat and is a collective of well-known young musicians from the Ghanaian music world.

Highlife on the map

The eight-piece band was founded by bassist and producer Emmanuel Ofori, who made his mark with Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band and Gyedu-Blay Ambolley. Santrofi's mission: putting highlife back on the map; not only for the world, but also to Ghana.

After previously bringing their energetic discography to more than a hundred shows throughout Europe, Santrofi now returns to Amsterdam with new music. Their upcoming album 'Making moves' is both a celebration of Santrofi's roots and a leap into the future of Highlife. The formation collaborates on the album with several artists from the afrobeats and trap scene in Ghana, such as Kofi Jar and Ara.

Please note: the end time is an indication.
