Songlines
“Ghana Special part two is a refreshing map of the diaspora fusions and hybrids that spread across Europe during a time of movement and turmoil from Ghana’s hotbed of influential stars and musicians. In highlighting the stories and journeys of Ghana’s émigrés, and in introducing us to those sounds, movements that remain either forgotten or just not as celebrated, Volume 2 will become as indispensable as the first”
Monolith Cocktail
"Driving grooves and hypnotic beats that’ll make even the most jaded listener want to get up and bop along to the music. If you need to listen to something uplifting, this is the album to reach for"
Record Crates United (US)
"A rich and revealing period of experimentation, well worth revisiting”
Afropop (US)
“At any given time there’s a 50% chance my most played album is a compilation; at the moment it is Soundway’s incredible Ghana Special 2. It opens a door onto a new world”
John Doran, The Quietus
