ONIPA means ‘human’ in Akan, the ancient language of the Ashanti people of Ghana. It’s a message of connection through collaboration: from Ghana to London, our ancestors to our children, Onipa brings energy, groove, electronics, afro-futurism, dance and fire!
‘Makoma’ is a raucous Soukous party starter, throwing Congolese guitars and tight Coupé décalé drums into the mix, channeling the spirit of 80s greats like Kanda Bongo Man through their Ghana-meets-UK prism.
