Santrofi er et musikalsk kollektiv fra Ghana, der udspringer af en kærlighed til den musik, som medlemmerne voksede op med. Nemlig highlife, den ekstremt festlige og blæserdominerede dansemusikgenre fra netop Ghana. Santrofi er ikke bare kendt for deres skæve taktarter, jazzede horn og call-and-response-vokaler, men også for deres koreografi: Som The Guardian skrev om debutalbummet ‘Alewa’ fra 2020, så kan man ikke høre, hvordan musikerne bevæger sig på debuten. Men at de spiller vildt godt sammen, det hører man stadig. Ført an af gruppens producer og bassist Emmanuel Kwadwo Ofori, spiller kollektivets syv musikere op til en sprængfarlig fest!
Nu er Santrofi aktuel med ‘Alewa’s opfølger, optaget og mixet af grammy-vinderen Jerry Boys. Albummet, der udkom i februar i år, hedder ‘Making Moves’, og er en hyldest til bandmedlemmernes rødder, såvel som et bud på en fremtidig highlife-lyd. På albummet finder man derfor også funkdrevne dansegulvs-bangers såvel som soul-agtige sange om tilværelsen. Medlemmerne af Santrofi har samarbejdet med et væld af artister, alt fra Kidi, Yaw Tog, AratheJay og Black Sherif, og så har Santrofi såmænd også spillet på Roskilde Festival. En koncert, der fik 5/6 stjerner i POV International og 4/6 i GAFFA. “Santrofi bring elements from different eras acknowledging the rich history of Ghanaian music into a cohesive and vital sound for the 21st century”, har the Quietus skrevet om kollektivet. Vi ser frem til at opleve deres smittende begejstring og fængende grooves, når Santrofi gæster ALICE til oktober!

In English:
With infectious charisma, choreography, and irresistible rhythms, the Ghanaian music collective Santrofi has made it their mission to bring the dance music genre highlife back to life and into a new era.
Santrofi, a musical collective from Ghana, is born out of a deep love for the highlife-music its members grew up with; the exuberantly festive and horn-dominated dance music genre deriving from Ghana. Santrofi is not only known for their catchy rhythms, jazzy horns, and call-and-response vocals, but also for their choreography. As The Guardian wrote about their 2020 debut album ‘Alewa’: “You can’t hear the choreography on this debut, but the playing remains immaculate”. Led by the group’s producer and bassist Emmanuel Kwadwo Ofori, the collective’s seven musicians set the stage for an explosive party!
Now, Santrofi returns with the follow-up to ‘Alewa’, recorded and mixed by Grammy-winner Jerry Boys. The album, released this February, is titled ‘Making Moves’ and stands both as a tribute to the band members’ roots and as a vision for the future sound of highlife. On the album you’ll find funk-driven dancefloor bangers as well as soulful songs reflecting on life. The members of Santrofi has collaborated with countless artists, including Kidi, Yaw Tog, AratheJay, and Black Sherif, and the collective even played Roskilde Festival. A concert that was given 5/6 stars in POV International, and 4/6 in GAFFA. “Santrofi bring elements from different eras acknowledging the rich history of Ghanaian music into a cohesive and vital sound for the 21st century,” wrote The Quietus about the collective. We look forward to experiencing their infectious energy and captivating grooves when Santrofi visits ALICE this October!
