Kofi Ayivor - Rhythmology

(Otrabanda 2004)

A master drummer and percussionist, Kofi Ayivor was a founding member of the well known Ghanaian band Osibisa, and has made a name for himself amongst the giants of West African music, in particular Ghanaian music (though born in Nigeria). And since his entry into music at an early age Ayivor has been able to take Ghanaian music across continents, playing everything from the staple Highlife music of that region, to a more westernized Jazz and Reggae, and eventually becoming a producer.

This album is a collection of the old and the new. Some of the tracks are previously unheard music composed by Kofi, whilst others simply celebrate the contribution that his musicianship has made to the world of music.
