As Ghana’s music industry continues to shift toward urban genres, traditional folklore music has largely faded into the background.
Iconic styles like palmwine music and guitar bandstand tunes are now seldom heard, except at cultural hubs like Anansekrom, the Centre for National Culture in Accra, or at traditional social gatherings such as funerals and marriage ceremonies.
Despite these challenges, the Super International Band has remained steadfast, refusing to be sidelined or pushed into obscurity. Known for their ability to deliver unparalleled performances of traditional folk music and dance, the group has maintained a loyal following over the years.
Having undergone significant transformation, the group recently rebranded itself to reflect its dynamic and electrifying performances. While the group has introduced a few modern instruments to complement their traditional repertoire, they have retained their indigenous African apparel and the timeless essence of their music.
The leadership of Sensational Super International Band, Samuel Abbeyquaye emphasized their commitment to preserving the band as the cornerstone of authentic Ghanaian folklore music. Their vision is to build a legacy that spans generations, ensuring that Ghanaian cultural music remains vibrant and relevant.
In line with this mission, the band continues to captivate audiences with their thrilling performances. Fans can look forward to their next performance, scheduled for Easter Sunday, as they reaffirm their dedication to keeping Ghanaian folklore music alive and thriving.
