Total Hip Replacement, the grooviest orchestra in Denmark, shares a playlist made of musical hybrids and fusions. Commented by Victor West Hosbond, lead vocalist and trombonist, these tracks are in the image of their latest album Anyankofo, recorded in Ghana with some of the top-level highlife musicians. A little warming up before their summer tour !
1. Jemba Groove - Bassa Bassa
« Afro-fusion is on the rise, and this cool band from Ghana/Germany is doing a fresh and heart warm take on highlife/afro/soul. Debut album just released. » Victor West Hosbond
2. Girls in Airports - Broke
« Danish jazz/groove band with a very unique sound. This track has such a nice groove and very cool mix with drums and bells having just the right metallic feel to it. » Victor West Hosbond
3. Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band - Gyae Su
« The grandmaster of Ghanaian highlife. This track is so lively and well played, and Pat Thomas voice is powerful and charming. We were lucky enough to record our new album with both Pat and his producer Kwame Yeboah. » Victor West Hosbond
4. Guiding Star Orchestra - Planting Trees
9. Santrofi - Alewa
« Santrofi is bringing classic highlife out to the world in style! A very strong live band and just a very symphathetic band, which I think is a great message to send out these days. We had the luck to work with them as well, while we were in Ghana! » Victor West Hosbond
10. Death By Dub - Special Request
« Cool american Dub music! Awesome horns and groove. » Victor West Hosbond
