Info
Lamisi’s latest album, Let Us Clap, is a tribute to the sisterhood of her homeland. In Northern Ghana, women and girls have long kept time with intricate handclaps and harmonised chants, an age-old folkloric tradition featuring polyrhythms and ancestral melodies. It draws on a history passed down through generations.
Fellow band member and album producer, Wanlov the Kubolor, is well known for addressing political and contentious topics in Ghanaian culture. His name translates from Ga as 'vagabond' or 'street wanderer'. He is an activist for the rights of minorities and an advocate for the LGBTQ community, which faces severe backlash in Ghana.
From leading The Patch Bay Band across Ghana to performing internationally, Lamisi works to uplift young girls in Northern Ghana, where cultural traditions often sideline them in favour of their male counterparts. In a region where access to education for girls remains limited, she serves as a role model, using her platform to support change. This show takes place on 1 September 2026 at 6:00 pm at Dalston Eastern Curve Garden.
