Funk, Highlife, Afrobeat

Santrofi is a very rare, brightly colored bird with four wings in Ghanaian Akan mythology. It symbolizes prosperity, beauty, and the power of song. Not surprisingly, the band Santrofi has connected 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. The eight-member band was founded by bassist and producer Emmanuel Ofori, who earned his stripes with Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band, and Gyedu-Blay Ambolley. Santrofi's mission: To put Highlife back on the map; not only for the world but also for Ghana. After already bringing their energetic discography to more than a hundred shows across Europe, Santrofi now returns to Amsterdam with new music. Their brand new 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 scenes in Ghana, such as Kofi Jar and Ara.
