Alex Konadu

Following the passing of EK Nyame, Alex Konadu has come to hold unofficial status as the reigning figure in Ghanaian guitar highlife. Remaining devoted to his homeland, he adopts a purist stance that steers clear of recent currents such as Afrobeat while performing vocals exclusively in the Asante language Twi. Although his catalog exceeds a dozen albums, his strongest recognition stems from concert appearances that have earned him the nicknames One Man Thousand and One Man Army. Observers frequently assert that he has appeared in every settlement across Ghana, an assertion that may well hold true. Among his documented recordings is the release One Man Thousand – Live in London, issued by World Circuit.
