Onipa is a London-based artist who brings a unique blend of Afro-futurism and electronic music to the stage. With influences ranging from traditional African rhythms to contemporary beats, *Onipa* creates an immersive musical experience that transcends borders and genres.

Similar to artists such as K.O.G, Afriquoi, and Jembaa Groove, *Onipa* combines energetic live performances with infectious grooves that get audiences moving. Their music draws inspiration from diverse cultures and traditions, resulting in a sound that is both familiar and innovative.

With their debut album "Makoma" receiving critical acclaim, *Onipa* has firmly established themselves as one of the most exciting acts on the global music scene. Whether you're a fan of world music or electronic beats, *Onipa*'s captivating sound will leave you wanting more.

Afro futurist sensations Onipa unleash their new album, combining Afro grooves, electronics and fierce energy for an effervescent celebration of cultural and musical encounters.

ONIPA means ‘human’ in Akan, the ancient language of the Ashanti people of Ghana. It’s a message of connection through collaboration: from Ghana to London, our ancestors to our children, Onipa brings energy, groove, electronics, Afro-futurism, dance and fire! Born out of deep collaboration between long-time friends K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana of KOG and the Zongo Brigade) and Tom Excell (MD, guitarist and writer of acclaimed jazz/ soul afrobeat pioneers Nubiyan Twist), the group features KOG on vocals, balafon and percussion, Tom Excell on guitar, percussion and electronics, Dwayne Kilvington (Wonky Logic) on synths and MPC and Finn Booth (Nubiyan Twist) on drums.

The group have worked closely with Ghanaian star Wiyaala who features on three tracks, singing in the Sisaala language from the North of Ghana. The album also features collaborations with South African rapper Spoek Mathambo, Lesotho star Morena Leraba, Ghanaian percussion master Afla Sackey and Tanza<a></a>nian sisters Pendo and Leah Zawose, each adding their own flavour to the project. “Through the musical prisms of London and Ghana our influences join together to create, a fundamental thread of traditional African rhythms, instrumentation and storytelling, interwoven with electronics, urban soundscapes and synth bass. We use technology, but it should never use us, our music is live and about deep human connection."
