This music has been dubbed "jazz inspired folk fusion." Lyrical jazz vocals over West African, Latin, and American folk and blues guitar, and the occasional electroacoustic flare.
Bio / Background
Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Akosua, brings the fresh new sound of "jazz inspired folk fusion" to sweeten the jaded ear. Her songs, punctuated with West African and Latin rhythms and tonalities, are a vibrant blend of heartfelt folk storytelling and lyrical jazz vocals. "Akosua pushes the boundaries of conventional songwriting," (Contra Costa Times).
Born and raised in New York and New Jersey, Akosua journeyed slowly out to the west coast, first stopping at the University of Michigan where she obtained her undergraduate degree and explored her musical talent. Determined to pursue a career as a professional musician, Akosua moved to the Bay Area, confident that the west coast would move her to fulfill her creative visions and dreams.
Since settling in California, Akosua has been featured at a plethora of venues and events including Berkeley’s La Peña Cultural Center and Freight and Salvage (2006, 2007).
