NSB23 x Meakusma - Hedzoleh Sounds Remixes Release Party

presented by les ateliers claus x nuits sonores x meakusma

On the occasion of the release of the Hedzoleh Soundz remix 12inch on Meakusma, there will be live performances by Jimi Tenor, Mark Ernestus & Tikiman and Gavsborg and a dj set by Waltraud Blischke at Les Ateliers Claus on October 14th, all in the framework of Nuits Sonores & European Lab Brussels 2023.

Hedzoleh Soundz were one of the first and most original ‘Afro’ bands from 1970s Ghana, playing an unusual mix of traditional music and western rock as part of the West African Highlife scene. The music for the Hedzoleh album was used by legendary South-African trumpeter Hugh Masekela as the backbone to his afro-jazz classic, “Masekela – Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz”.

After reissuing Hedzoleh in 2022, a collaborative effort between Meakusma and Soundway, the new remix 12inch sees Jimi Tenor, Mark Ernestus, Gavsborg and Waltraud Blischke transport Hedzoleh's tracks into new spheres and circumstances.
