Coming Soon.
CD "FRITETE"
On the album "FRITETE," Kwame Ansah-Brew celebrates the joy of Authentic African Dance and Music. Ansah-Brew joyfully recreates the ancient music of Ghanaian traditional (indigenous) music. The instrumentation on this album includes the dynamic percussive sounds of drums, bells, shakers, and the conch shell.
Traditional Ghanaian music is woven into the fabric of Ghanaian social, political, and spiritual life.
Ansah-Brew feels it is very important to preserve this musical form for several reasons. Chief among these is because traditional music has historically accompanied and enhanced Ghanaian life—at recreational activities and significant festivals, as well as the seminal rites of passage in the lives of Ghanaians—such as birth, puberty, marriage, and death. Music has also served an important role in the installation of chiefs.
"FRITETE" will definitely be enjoyed by music lovers all over the world who celebrate the purity, grace, drama, and spirit of these ancient (“Fritete”) sounds.
Ansah-Brew is currently working on a follow up CD, FRITETE Volume II, which will highlight other Ghanaian indigenous musical forms and instruments such as the Xylophone, the Gonje and the Atenteben (bamboo flute)
