Kwesi Arthur’s debut album, Son of Jacob, draws on his lineage to provide a picture of current Ghanaian life, complete with highs and lows.
The musician, born Emmanuel, has around 15 recordings. Danso Kwesi Arthur Junior uses his soothing voice to delve into the personal, familial, and societal realms.
Son of Jacob
In Son of Jacob Album, Kwesi Arthur weaves multi-lingual flows between trap basslines, Afrocentric drumming, and beautiful pop melodies on the introspective “Silver Spoon,” ambitious “Paper,” and bass-heavy “Winning” with VIC MENSA. On the Afroswing “Diamonds Dancing,” the Tema native writes humorous lines alongside Nigerian singer Teni before recruiting UK-based band NSG, merging asokpor and amapiano on “Animal,” and integrating highlife on the gospel-tinged conclusion “Adom.”
