African Head Charge celebrate 45 years with a return to Metronome joined by very special guest GAUDI, with support from Earthpipe. Fresh off the back of their first release in 12 years, A Trip to Bolgatanga is a stunning return, bringing together the talents of two masters who, after a hiatus, have created a rich album brimming with ideas and executed with finesse. A Trip To Bolgatanga is a musical journey to Bonjo’s current hometown in northern Ghana: a psychedelic travelogue across the landscape featuring their trademark hand percussion and group chanting augmented with rumbling bass, mutated horns, dubbed out effects, wild wah-wah, haunted voodoo dancehall, synthetic swells, disco congas, tumbling layers of electronic effects, blues-inflected woodwind, and funky organ.
As with every On-U Sound production, each repeated listen reveals fresh detail, and its power won’t be really understood until heard on a big system, when it’ll reduce all competition to rubble.
With a discography that continues to resonate across generations and a visual identity that captivates the senses, African Head Charge stands as a testament to the power of music as a force for connection and cultural expression.
