NTS pays tribute to Kakraba Lobi, the Ghanaian master of the gyil, a wooden, xylophone-like instrument deeply connected to the musical and spiritual traditions of Lobi and Dagara people of Ghana, Burkina Faso, and the Ivory Coast. Kakraba Lobi’s career spanned decades, during which he performed internationally, taught extensively, and recorded works that remain definitive in the world of gyil music, at home in Ghana and abroad. Musician SK Kakraba, his son and heir as a virtuoso gyil performer, reflects on his late father’s life and legacy, while sharing his own journey and the artistry he inherited. This episode includes an exclusive performance by SK Kakraba, alongside intimate excerpts from interviews.
