According to him, the album which was officially released on the various media portals last week Monday, October 31, is aimed at giving the world a “taste of African music”.
Songs on the 12-track album are Funky, Sika do, Beng fa, Agege, Killer B3 Wu, Casanova, Banana, My Baby among others.
To project his African roots and its cultural heritage, Bobo Pee, born Kingsley Edekor employs mostly highlife rhythm on most of the songs.
However, he shows his versatility on other pieces such as Casanova and Banana by exploring other beats in hiplife and Afro Pop.
Though Bobo Pee has lived his life mostly in Copenhagen, Denmark, he believes he can use his platform to project Ghanaian music and make it attractive to the outside world.
“The likes of King Ayisoba and Wiyaala are flying high in European countries because what they offer is different from what they are used to.
“ We can’t pretend we are better than the Beyonces and the Kanye Wests. Let’s sell our music because it makes us distinct from others,” were the words of Bobo Pee when he spoke with Showbiz last Thursday.
Currently under the record label of BP Records, Bobo Pee, a songwriter was born and raised in Cape Coast, Ghana, but he has plied his trade as a musician in Copenhagen where he performs at major venues with the aim of “selling African music” for the past decade.
He continues to explore new, interesting directions and possibilities for the Ghanaian music tradition and that he said inspired him featuring highlife artistes such as Kofi Kinaata on the new album.
Other artistes featured on the Alma album are Still Vybez, Riddim, Boss and Tasha.
