Sunkwa was established in 1999, with the objective to developing a first class performance group, to explore the classical, pop and world music foundations of African music and dance. The group comprises of six-seven instrumentalists, all of whom are master musicians in their own rights. Sunkwa’s instrumentations are combined with traditional instruments from West Africa like the Gyil (Ancient xylophone from Ghana), saxophone, trumpet, keyboard, acoustic/electric guitars, electric bass guitar and drums. With this combined experience, Sunkwa is always ready to rock your world. The music has its roots in Ghana, but also draws on other international styles of music. Sunkwa has tunes that fuses world xylophone music traditions from various part of Africa, and have compositions commingling world beat rhythms. As a group, Sunkwa represents an honest reflection of peace and unity through music. It's a unique combination, an ancient mallet keyboard and a modern team of dynamo performers.
