BESSA is an ace pianist from Ghana who had a spree with the legendary OSIBISA and is now resident in Accra where he produces most of the top Ghanaian artists. A highly inventive musician, composer and arranger, BESSA also has his own very successful career, with five albums to his name and a sixth one in the making. The track "Bom, Bom, Bom" , from his latest recording, "Akwaaba" became a hit in Ghana.
BESSA is touring the UK again with his band, THE BESSA BAND, which features the crème de la crème of UK based Ghanaian musicians. His brand of highlife is tinged with soul, funk and even the occasional calypso rhythm as in the track "Akwaaba."
