The band plays a massive tour this summer, starting in the Netherlands (Paradiso and Grounds). They will perform at most of the European festivals, including Womad and Lowlands. Read here the live review of their master performance @ Roskilde Festival 2022:

“When it comes to Ghana’s Alogte Oho, there can be little doubt as to just how emphatic, meaningful, joyous and emotionally-laden a music experience this year’s guests were treated to. And yes, such were the expectations from the partisan crowd from the start but even so – few would have expected the execution of the concert would have been as masterful as it was”.

“There were epic vocal solos that entranced the crowd temporarily and impeccable percussive forays that hearkened echoes of Tony Allen, Fela Kuti and other Afrobeat greats.

BIO:

Alogte Oho is one of the most important new voices of Ghanaian gospel. His debut album was released in 2007 and with the release of his third album in 2012, he broke through in his home country. During this first European tour, Alogte Oho brings a slow rocking, grooving journey, deep into the world of Frafra-Gospel.

He was discovered in 2013 by the label founder of Philophon Records, who heard the single ‘Mam Yinne Wa’ during a visit to Ghana and was immediately intrigued by Alogte Oho’s voice. ‘Mam Yinne Wa’ is also the title of Alogte’s first internationally released album on Philophon. As always, Alogte is accompanied his cheerful choir, The Sounds of Joy. Alogte preaches positivity and peace with his Frafra gospel music: a blessing both live and on record.
