Adooni, Florence
Mam Pe'ela Su'ure/naba Aferda
Florence Adooni shares a long history with Philophon. Being part of Guy One's group she is the voice on his radio hit 'Estre'. Furthermore, she is a member of Alogte Oho's Sounds of Joy and can be heard on his smasher 'Mam Yinne Wa'. Last but not least, Jimi Tenor chose her to sing on his instant club classic 'Vocalize My Luv'. In addition to all these cooperations, Florence has locally released a series of albums under her own name and with no doubt she can called the queen of Frafra-gospel. 'Mam Pe'ela Su'ure' is a typical Frafra-gospel hymn, sung during Sunday services accompanied only with shakers and hand clapping. This version here is backed up by Kumasi's finest High Life players, who transform the song into a massive wave of groove. 'Naba Aferda' is a homage to the Chief of Zuarungu, Florence's home village, which was also the home village of the legendary Christy Azuma, who became the first international Frafra-star in the '70s. Christy was always a big inspiration for Florence and makes her proud to be from a small village called Zuarungu.
