I Have My Liberty!: Gospel Sounds from Accra Ghana

Raw gospel energy straight from the churches of Accra, Ghana.

I Have My Liberty! Gospel Sounds from Accra, Ghana presents two dozen electrifying recordings made live in Accra’s charismatic churches in 2008. Amid swirling dust and the clamor of the capital city, these congregations transform distortion, handclaps, and voices into pure praise. Female-led choirs, ramshackle guitars, and relentless percussion create an ecstatic sound that links the traditions of American gospel to their African roots.
