Ghanaian soul-life artist Abiana becomes the first African musician to join Latvian folk band Auli's worldwide music project. Their combined EP, Voices of Ghana, drops Monday, May 26th, through Apprise Music's distribution network. The collaboration mixes traditional Ghanaian songs with Baltic sounds from Europe. Auli started their Voices of the Ancestors series back in 2019 to showcase global singing traditions. Kaspars Barbals produces for the Latvian group and praises Abiana's storytelling abilities.
Abiana won the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards for Best Female Vocal Performance with her track Adun Lei. Throughout her career, she has blended Soul music with Highlife and Neo-Soul styles. The new EP features her voice over Auli's bagpipes and heavy drums, creating cross-cultural sounds. Her performances teach listeners about Ghana's vocal history and the cultural meanings behind the songs. Through her detailed explanations, education becomes part of the musical experience.
Apprise Music CEO Michael Bamfo calls the project bigger than just entertainment. The release connects African heritage with modern innovation for global audiences. Dolby Atmos and high-quality audio formats will carry the music across Spotify and Apple Music platforms. Catapult Distribution manages worldwide sales outside Africa. Auli was formed in 2003 and works to save Latvia's disappearing bagpipe traditions through fresh musical experiments.
