ADASAMMA BAND
Amid the vast world of music, Adasamma Band, formed in Accra, Ghana in 2016, has created their own signature sound with the genre Highlife-Fusion. Here, highlife rhythms and melodies merge with jazz, soul, and rock, resonating with audiences both young and old.
The six members are longtime friends and collaborators, and their musical chemistry is undeniable. Their debut album INFLUENCE, which they self-produced, co-wrote, and mixed, earned them both critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. Recently, the Highlife-Fusion pioneers recorded their upcoming album in Dortmund, Germany – an album that reflects the band’s journey of growth, exploration, and cultural connection across borders.
Adasamma Band’s mission is not only to share their music but also to strengthen cultural ties and collaborations – continuing their vision of uniting people through the universal language of music.
VIPEPEO
Experience dance and drumming from Tanzania’s Sukuma tribe! The dance group Vipepeo will bring energy and joy to the turkis garden with their performance of dance, music, and song.
Vipepeo is an Aarhus-based dance group that for over 20 years has explored the dance and drumming culture of Tanzania’s Sukuma tribe. Many of its members have traveled and lived in Tanzania, and several have roots there.
AFRICAN FOOTPRINT FOUNDATION
AFF works to establish an ensemble of both master drummers and aspiring musicians, ready to perform at events and participate in meaningful projects. Their goal is also to create an inspiring environment and opportunities for developing musicians and students interested in African music, and to give all citizens of Aarhus the chance to engage with African music and dance.
