Ghana?s ancient empire and the 21st century global express. The rhythms that created the past alongside the beats forging the present. In King Ayisoba, they all converge. Everything morphing into one. And on this new album they stand together, history and today, side by side. The tradition hewn from the future. The juxtaposition of the two on ?1000 Can Die? shows the irresistible drive of both sides. The thick, squelching bass and beats that push under the older rhythms of ?Anka Yen Tu Kwai? are overtaken by the guluku and dundun drums that bring in ?Yalma Dage Wanga,? its rapid-fire melody dictated by Ayisoba?s voice and two-string kologo lute.
