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.

As Lokalophon's first single (Chris De Wise Shepherd, LO45001) shows the one side of the label - licensing of already locally released music, Ye Fre Yen by Ahemaa Nwomkro shows its other side - the recording of local styles by ourselves directly on site.

Ahemaa Nwomkro, which means queens of Nwomkro, are Victoria Osei and Theresa Owusuaa. Nwomkro is an old Ashanti musical style, which played an influential role in the origin of the typical more roots-like Highlife style of Kumasi, the cultural capital of Ghana in the middle of the jungle.
