Florence Adooni

Florence Adooni, born to Frafra parents in Kumasi, Ghana, bridges the cultural divide between the northern Frafra and southern Ashanti traditions. Her musical journey began in a local church choir, where her talent quickly led her to become the lead singer.

After school, Florence's passion for music continued to grow, leading to her first recording session, which resulted in the 2011 hit album Ho Sanga La Pa’aya. This success catapulted her to fame within the Frafra Gospel scene. In 2013, she released Da Sake (Never Give Up), catching the attention of German producer Max Weissenfeldt.

Max and Florence's collaboration began in 2014, when they toured Ghana with a 12-piece supergroup. This partnership led to international recognition, with Florence joining European tours and collaborating with artists like Jimi Tenor. Her first international release, Mam Pe’ela Su’ure (2021), solidified her global presence.

By 2023, Florence was performing at major European festivals, and in 2024, she and her band embarked on a 50+ concert tour across Europe. As anticipation builds for her upcoming full album, Florence Adooni continues to be a significant force in contemporary African music.
