Alewa is the electrifying debut from Santrofi, a dynamic Ghanaian collective known for setting European stages alight before ever releasing an album. Seamlessly blending Soul & Funk with energetic Highlife and Afrobeat influences, Santrofi’s sound bursts with tight jazz horns, infectious call-and-response vocals, and rhythms that pay homage to Ghana’s musical heritage while pushing it forward.
This release captures the band’s vibrant energy and musical finesse, with standout moments like the blues-banishing “Cocoase,” the Afrobeat pulse of “Adwuma,” and elegant melodies on “Kwabena Amoah.” Carefully curated by Out Here Records in 2020, Alewa is an essential listen for fans of world music, offering both depth and joyful celebration across every track.
