Florence Adooni is an integral part of the thriving Frafra Gospel scene in Ghana. However, her vocal abilities stand out distinctly. Notably, she hails from the Ashanti metropolis of Kumasi, the hub of highlife music. However, her approach diverges from the authentic Frafra Gospel typically heard in the northern regions of Ghana.
By surrounding herself with Kumasi’s finest emerging high-life musicians, she now ingeniously intertwines the essence of the northern savannah and the melodies of the rainforest area, amalgamating the finest aspects of both cultures into a singular and extraordinary occurrence.
Her inaugural track, “Mam Pe’ela Su’ure,” released under the Philophon Records label, has garnered immense recognition within Ghana and worldwide. Her music possesses profound soul, captivating allure, and brims with talent from all contributors involved.
