Folk music is what the people sing. Big Mamma Thornton brought us Rock n Roll. Sam Cooke helped define soul. The storytelling of Grandmaster Flash helped lay the foundation of Hip Hop. These are all genres that have their roots in American Folk Music. Like the great artists before him, Kwesi K continues the legacy of Folk Music. The Alaskan-Ghanaian-Ohioian uses contemporary stylings that pull from the diasporas of American heritage. Soulful and simple, Kwesi K draws his listeners into his work with colorful story lines and a melodic fervor. Kwesi is a true American folk musician celebrating the history of this county's ancestors and their music.
