Okaidja Afroso @ Gesa Power House Theatre

Gesa Power House Theatre presents Okaidja Afroso in concert on Friday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m.

Okaidja is an Afropop singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist from Ghana, West Africa. His unique artistic vision has led him to combine his native rhythms with unforeseen pairings of musical flavors. His sound is a spicy fusion of Ghanaian music with diverse cross-cultural influences. Although most of Okaidja's hypnotic arrangements are sung in his native language, the meaning shines through. His calling and life purpose is to bring us all together so that we can laugh and grieve and dance and forge forward together, in community.

Okaidja was born into a family of musicians and storytellers in the village of Kokrobite on the west coast of Ghana. He began his career as a dancer with the celebrated Ghana Dance Ensemble. As he toured internationally Okaidja expanded his artistic reach becoming a master multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and arranger.

Reserved seating tickets ($30-$25 Adults; $20 Students) will be available to Members on Friday, January 12, to Email Subscribers on Friday, January 19, and to the general public on Friday, January 26.
