Seperewa of Ghana: Emmere Nhyina Nse

Released

Despite being related to other West African stringed instruments, the seperewa of Ghana has never received as much attention as the likes of the kora or ngoni. Yet, the small guitar-like harp is integral to the history of Ghanaian highlife and palm wine music, and was their centerpiece before being replaced by the guitar. Osei Korankye is the instrument’s undiscussed master and dedicated keeper, accompanying its spirited melodies with his own classic highlife vocals.
