FLORENCE ADOONI Konzert

In the organizer's words:

EN

The queen of Ghanaian Frafra gospel brings a summer feeling to Hamburg with her seven-piece band of first-class highlife musicians.

In 2023, Florence Adooni and the Hamburg-based Tastenking Erobique brought the Überjazz Festival to a "rousing close" (Hamburger Abendblatt). One of Ghana's most powerful musical voices could be heard, combining the spiritual gospel of the northern Ghanaian Frafra people with the pulsating highlife music of West Africa. After several local releases and further collaborations with Jimi Tenor and other Frafra musicians such as Guy One and Alogte Oho, Florence Adooni initially released several singles on the Berlin label Philophon. These have already earned her invitations to major festivals such as Roskilde and End of The Road, and with her first album on Philophon, released in February 2025 and produced by busy label founder Max Weissenfeldt, she has now released "an extraordinary, refreshing and soul-infused album that is one of the best of the year" (popmatters). A.O.E.I.U.'' (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity) consists of seven songs in English and Frafra and combines pop, soul, spiritual jazz and highlife into a timeless, celebratory and danceable groove - perfect for summer feelings in the club at a festival.

Ghana's queen of Frafra gospel brings summer vibes to Hamburg with her seven-piece band of top-tier highlife musicians.

In 2023, Florence Adooni and Hamburg's keyboard wizard Erobique closed the Überjazz Festival with what Hamburger Abendblatt called an "electrifying finale." Adooni, one of Ghana's most powerful new voices, fuses the spiritual gospel of the Frafra people in northern Ghana with the vibrant pulse of West African Highlife. Following local releases and collaborations with artists like Jimi Tenor, Guy One, and Alogte Oho, Adooni issued a series of singles on Berlin label Philophon. These led to festival invites from Roskilde to End of the Road. Now, with her debut album "A.O.E.I.U." (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity) - released in February 2025 and produced by Philophon founder Max Weissenfeldt - she delivers "an extraordinary, rejuvenating, and soulful release that's one of the year's best so far" (PopMatters). Sung in English and Frafra, its seven tracks blend pop, soul, spiritual jazz, and Ghanaian rhythms into a timeless, joyful groove - perfect for summery festival nights.
