Batman Samini
Benn loxo listener, Tom, sent me some interesting music from Ghana the other day. He writes,
“I’m an avid reader/listener to Benn loxo. I’ve uploaded a couple of tracks of Batman Samini from Ghana. He’s absolutely massive there, and just received a MOBO award nomination for Best African Act – awards on 20th September. His “thing” is a hybrid of Highlife, Reggae/ Ragga, some calling it Raglife (!).
Lambori is from his 1st Album Dankwansere. Obaa Besia, meaning “My Ideal Woman”, is from his current album called Samini. You can buy it from iTunes.
There’s a story on him at ghanamusic.com.” ..and another one over at Benn loxo friends, fly.co.uk.
“He’s originally from the Northern Ghanaian town of Wa, where his name Samini means “Rain God”. That was taken with a pinch of salt until a few months ago he launched his new album in Accra and it literally started raining as the first song was played and didn’t stop for 2 whole days. So I’ve warned the MET office in the UK that he’s coming to London in a couple of weeks.”
Thanks for the music, Tom. So is Batman his real name? I particularly like Lambori. It’s a great example of the successful fusion of local instruments and sounds with a contemporary Western urban sound. It’s amazing how much the production has improved with this recent round of releases when compared to hiphop and reggae albums from Ghana and surrounding countries just a few years ago.

Gratitude for the Batman tracks. As always, your taste is impeccable. Peace…
