A new three-piece band born of chance meetings in Accra. Nyamekye Junction brings together a Burundian producer and vocalist, Betina Quest; with a Ghanaian singer-songwriter, Eli A Free; and a German percussionist and multi instrumentalist, Ma.ttic. They take their name from a bustling junction in the Ghanaian capital, where a number of major roads merge, embodying the musical approach of the band: a singular sound at the junction of their cultural heritages.
Challenging lazy stereotypes of modern ‘African’ music as being synonymous with Afrobeats alone, Nyamekye blend synths and samplers with enchanting vocals and traditional West African percussion instruments like the Frikyiwa, Kpanlogos and Kayamba to produce a sound that is at once nostalgic and futuristic. Music threaded from many genres that is hard-hitting and meditative; undefinable and unrepeated; politically cutting and uplifting.
Their debut EP - Dasein - is out via Kitto Records on the 24th June.
