Dela Botri
Ghanaian flutist, Dela Botri, has unveiled two albums ‘All In One’ and ‘Ghana Bi Your Own’, containing 32 songs which were recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown period.
Speaking to Ghana Weekend during the launch at the Goethe Institut in Accra, the ‘atentenben’ master revealed that both albums were recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic when travel restrictions were in place, and he could not leave Ghana to play international shows.
With 16 tracks each, ‘Ghana Bi Your Own’ has a more traditional feel, while ‘All In One’ gives a contemporary ‘urban’ vibe.
According to Mr. Botri, the albums were recorded with a vast array of traditional Ghanaian instruments, reflecting aspects of his recent directions with his bamboo flute and his knowledge of world music.
As the founder of Hewale Sounds, Dela Botri, tours the world and gives special lectures on ‘atentenben’ music in universities.
