Santrofi, Ghana’s highlife revival powerhouse, is back at Grounds with their signature blend of cheerful, funky, and rhythm-driven music. Formed in 2019 and led by Emmanuel Kwadwo Ofori, this Accra-based supergroup includes eight of the city’s most gifted musicians.
Their shows are bursts of energy, combining highlife’s rich musical heritage with Afrobeat, calypso, juju, and Cuban influences. Expect tight horn sections, sparkling guitar riffs, layered percussion, and impeccable vocal harmonies.
🎶 With their latest album Making Moves (2025), Santrofi expands their sound with funk-driven dancefloor hits and stories from the streets of Accra. Every performance is a joyful celebration of African rhythms and unity on stage.
Having toured across Europe and recently performed 13 sold-out shows in Japan, they’re now set to ignite the dancefloor in Rotterdam.
