The music of Florence Adooni is a blend of the Frafra gospel and the vibrant and optimistic highlife sound. Yet, it is far more than that. It is a multilayered display of instrumental virtuosity, shuffling syncopated rhythms and lush vocal harmonies. Florence Adooni was born to Frafra parents in the south of Ghana and the Frafra, from the north, have a distinct set of customs that differ greatly from those of the southern Ashanti people. Growing up, Florence was immersed in both cultures, bringing two worlds together from an early age. Her first album “Sanga La Pa’aya” (2011) was an instant hit but things dramatically changed two years later. The German producer Max Weissenfeldt who was exploring Ghana met Florence by chance, while she personally distributed her second album “Da Sake” (2013). After several successful collaborations with local super-groups, Florence went to Europe for the first time in 2018. Her first international release “Mam Pe’ela Su’ure” (2021) instantly grabbed the attention and in 2023, several prominent festivals welcomed her. After more than 70 European shows in the past two years, we welcome Florence with fresh material from the highly anticipated album “A.O.E.I.U” for Philaphone records.
