Kae Sun
Ghanaian singer Kae Sun combines the best of the singer-songwriter tradition, lightening pulses of soul, and a few echoes of hip-hop into a unique style known as “urban folk.” Like any good folk artist, Kae Sun uses his music to address a wide range of social and spiritual issues. His stripped down sound is at times reminiscent of Bob Marley or Wyclef Jean, but his music is never derivative. Kae Sun is simply the next step in the evolution of urban folk music.
