Physical Edition: I Have My Liberty! Gospel Sounds from Accra, Ghana
Format: CD + Booklet
I Have My Liberty! captures the raw gospel energy of Accra, Ghana’s charismatic churches in 2008. Amid swirling dust and the clamor of the capital city, congregations transform distortion, handclaps, and voices into pure praise.
The set features female-led choirs, ramshackle guitars, and relentless percussion, creating an ecstatic sound that links the traditions of American gospel back to their African roots. These live recordings deliver both the immediacy of the worship experience and the timelessness of spiritual song.
What’s Included:
- 1 CD with 25 live tracks recorded in Accra’s churches (2008)
- 16-page illustrated booklet with background notes
“I Have My Liberty! Gospel Sounds from Accra, Ghana combines the unconventionality of an Alan Lomax field recording with modern microphones and modern African congregations.” — Bob Marovich, The Black Gospel Blog
