Label GB

Lokalophon

Lokalophon is a music label that was established in late 2019. The label's main focus is to release external and already locally released productions, as well as their own productions that showcase local styles in their original characteristics.

With a passion for preserving the unique sounds of different regions, Lokalophon aims to bring these local styles to a wider audience. By showcasing the talents of *artists* and performers who embody the essence of their respective communities, Lokalophon provides a platform for these artists to share their music with the world.

Whether it's traditional folk tunes or contemporary sounds influenced by regional cultures, Lokalophon offers an eclectic range of releases that celebrate diversity and cultural heritage. Each release is carefully curated to ensure authenticity and artistic excellence.

Lokalophon is the newly established sub-label of Philophon, which is designed to release local specialities from potentially all around the world. The first 7" is by Ghanaian Frafra-Gospel singer Chris De Wise Shepherd.

Born in Bolgatanga, he moved as a young man from the rural north of Ghana to its coastal capital Accra. Consequentially, his style became more urban. That you can clearly hear on his 2012 release Nera Wo'o Soke, which sounds in some ways as if Grandmaster Flash himself were operating the production knobs. Atune Anya'alima on the other hand is pure Frafra-Gospel as it is usually performed in Northern Ghana.
