“Upbeat, danceable music from the Ghana-born and now Portland-based musician Okaidja Afroso.” (NPR) Àbɔɔ Édíŋ (Melanin Earth Garden in the Gãdangmé language of coastal Ghana) is the second chapter of Okaidja Afroso’s Ancient Africa Wisdom Trilogy. Okaidja connects the listener with unfolding stories of the present and ceremonial stories of the past while looking into the future. Guitar, light percussion, bass, and vocals combine with Brazilian rhythms, touches of jazz, and complex arrangements to bring together wide and worldly influences.
