King Ayisoba – Pure Confusion

Pioneering Ghanaian musician King Ayisoba returns with his seventh album Pure Confusion, recorded and produced by On-U-Sound’s Adrian Sherwood. Ayisoba is one of Ghana’s most distinctive musical voices. The world’s foremost player of the kologo – a homemade two-string lute fashioned from a calabash and covered in goatskin – he delivers fiercely political and socially observant songs using three different voices, including the voice of his grandfather that possessed him as a child. Sherwood meanwhile is the pioneering British producer and founder of On-U Sound whose hugely influential career has connected dub, post-punk, industrial, hip hop and experimental music through collaborations with artists including Lee “Scratch” Perry, Mark Stewart, Horace Andy, New Age Steppers, Pitch Black, Spoon, Sinéad O’Connor, Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode
