The first of our 'Griots' curations, where we meticulously curate a playlist showcasing the storytelling prowess of rap artists hailing from both Ghana and around the globe goes live on @orokoradio tomorrow. These carefully crafted sets aim to unite artists who share striking stylistic, technical, and inspirational sound, between Ghana's vibrant scene and the global rap panorama. In this premier curation, we delve into the musical narratives of some exceptional talents: Akan, Kendrick Lamar, Ko-jo Cue, Shaker, and J.Cole, expertly woven together by our resident selector, The Niz. Tune in tomorrow, 3 pm-4 pm (GMT) on oroko.live and immerse yourself in a sonic voyage that traverses continents, emotions, and stories. Bless! 🎨 - The Niz #accracitynice #accracityniceplaylist #orokoradio #orokoradioresident

Today at 1500 GMT, our @orokoradio broadcast will go live. It is inspired by a recent road trip to the Afram plains. How do we capture the ambiances of the journey across bustling trading townships along the N6, long seemingly never ending roads - some good, some terrible, the climb through the Kwahu mountains, a ferry crossing across the calm and eerie Volta Lake on a hazy harmattan afternoon and much more? Tune in to find out. We blend some mainstream bangers with gems from @spotifyafrica ’s #Afroalte playlist to capture the various energies of the trip. Tune in, 1500 GMT: oroko.live #accracitynice #afroalternative #accraghana #ghana

It's a #ThrowbackThursday thing on our @orokoradio broadcast today at 3 pm GMT. . We are playing some of the '90s and ‘00s jams that you would most likely have heard in a barbering shop back in the day. . 3pm, tune in and let’s reminisce: https://oroko.live #accracitynice #orokoradio #accra #ghana #throwbackthursday #hiphop #radio

The Ghanaian Barbershop of the '90s and '00s, that’s where the inspiration for our next show on @orokoradio will be about. These shops can best be described as some of the first music curation spaces. . Apart from getting their Sportin' wave cuts, these spaces where were many a Ghanaian millennial got introduced to aspects of Black American urban culture, particularly the RNB and Hip-Hop sound. . Join us throwback and reminisce some of the sounds of the era which played on the HiFi systems that were usually present in these barbering shops.

On our next @orokoradio broadcast this Thursday: We are celebrating African Union Day by curating a playlist that explores African EDM genres. . Creative expressions particularly through the music have been a key uniting force in recent times across the continent. Negative stereotypes, imaginary boundaries, and other things which prevented our cohesion from a top to bottom approach are being cleared by the impact of the new sound. In this broadcast, we explore some of them. . #accracitynice #accra #ghana #afrobeats #batida #afrohouse #afrofusion

A memorable Eid in advance to our pepos!✊🏾 .

The Ghanaian dancehall sound has a very strong influence from key predominantly Zongo communities, Nima, Newtown, and Ashaiman in particular. . In Nima, there is an area - Judgement Yard - that is renowned and respected in the local Reggae and Dancehall community, but that story is for another day. Most top dancehall practitioners from this space have interfaced, been influenced, and have loyal fan bases from these communities. . In our next @orokoradio transmission, we would highlight the influence of these communities on the sound, as we celebrate with our brethren who would be celebrating Eid in a couple of days. #accra #accracitynice #accraghana #dancehall

Our next @orokoradio transmission is a celebration with our Muslim brethren as they prepare to celebrate Eid after the holy month of Ramadan. . We are exploring the contemporary music of communities in spaces where the main religious practice is Islam; from Dancehall to Afrobeats, Hip Hop to Hiplife, the Zongo and Northern Ghana geographical regions produce some amazing music. . This show is an iceberg's tip considering the amount of music and influence that comes from these areas; it's a playlist to celebrate and appreciate the sound and culture from these areas. #accracity #accra #ghana

Our @orokoradio show for this month is a celebration of the life and influence of @rab_bakari . Rab was a pioneering figure of the Ghanaian 'Hiplife' sound, a fusion of the Hip Hop sound with Highlife. Having grown up, lived in, and experienced the Hip Hop culture in the 'Mecca' of New York, Rab's production techniques, DJing, and music management would set the foundations for the iconic sound which would shape the urban landscape of Ghana and eventually make this country the influential creative hub it has become. . Rab passed on in March of 2022, and this show is a celebration of the music he produced, was influenced by, and the sound his influence created. Show airs this Friday from 1-2pm. . Much love to @theagnesntow for helping to put this together with @kwaobama @badgalfifx and @baykuwmusic #Ghana #hiplife #oroko #accracitynice #acnplaylist #accraghana
