About Me |
|
| .. KENTE represents the royal heritage of Ghana. Woven-with the finest silk- on traditional looms that beat out rhythms to intricate patterns, KENTE is the name that adorns Ghana’s most exciting musical group and performing act. KENTE plays avant-garde music. It is KENTE music, and like the band, the answer can be found in the Kente cloth itself. It is a very vibrant and dynamic kind of thing, and each little portion, each design, has a message, a proverb. It’s all about unity in diversity. KENTE music is for the people who have the need for conscious vibes. “There is no limit to our audience” Founded in 1987 by then high school buddies, KENTE is today a network of artistes, studios, music and television producers, promoters, web engineers, merchandisers, and an army of fans who regularly communicate with the band, mostly online. The aim of this network is to promote the music and performance of KENTE and all the associate artistes, as well as the studios, various promotional merchandise including fashion, product branding etc. KENTE’s debut, Development Plan encapsulated the KENTE philosophy of the need for African peoples to evolve their own sustainable development programmes that takes as its source of reference the history and culture of the people. Keep Moving, the follow up album, called on all conscious people of the world to come together in a universal one love order. Jah Way represented a new stage in the group’s direction, when for the first time the produced and released their own album on their own Sound Image label. KENTE is conscious, stylish and reggae biased, and above all KENTE has evolved to weave our aspirations into a pattern that music lovers, social commentators and indeed the general public will find most fulfilling, pleasurable and uplifting. Fred Dred, founder and lead vocalist of the original KENTE band, describes KENTE’s new outlook as the “natural progression from what we started out doing all these couple of decades ago. We’re simply pushing our perspective forward, you know, till we get centre stage attention, period. “We’ve got something to say, and we’re saying it loud and clear. We’re promoting a whole new lifestyle and we shall consider ourselves successful when the people hear what we have to say. Our philosophy is one we will be weaving continually”. mspobj type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="350" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ | |
