Hagan releases the highly anticipated ‘Yenkyi’ EP

Following on from the ‘Yenkyi Taxi’ documentary, British Ghanaian artist Hagan releases the highly anticipated accompanying EP, the ‘Yenkyi’ EP.

It comes as the fruit of Hagan’s trip to Ghana last year, in which he set out to connect with his roots both music and personal. He spent time recording traditional Ghanaian percussionists at the legendary Vivivi Studios in Accra, delving into the underbelly of the contemporary Ghanaian musical scene and its traditions, to create a pulsing masterpiece.

“The EP focuses on me trying to further enrich my sound through exploring my heritage and musical influences from Ghana. I made it a focus to record Ghanaian percussion… instruments such as the Dondo, Fontomfrom, Talking Drum and Atumpan were used to create an authentic tone I wasn’t able to achieve through programming drums electronically,”  Hagan explains.

We are fully into ‘Hagan’, you should get him on your radar!
