The EP was recorded in Accra with four amazing musicians; Victor Dey Jr (keyboards), Bright Osei (Bass), Joseph Bannor and Nana Kojo Siebu (Percussion).
According to Berima Amo, “In an era where there's a decline in real authentic African music, these sounds are a breath of fresh air for the global world music scene.
