Nana invites Nicolas Mortelmans

The young and talented harp-lute player, singer, percussionist, and dancer Nana Osei-Twum Barima is from Ghana. At a young age, he discovered the seperewa, a harp-lute with a beautiful, enchanting sound that you simply must hear.

In his performances, Nana also weaves the subtle tones of the mbira (thumb piano) with a rich variety of percussion instruments, from the deep sounds of the thigh and water calabash to the rhythmic Ghanaian percussion box and bamboo percussion.

Sitar player Nicolas Mortelmans, from Lier/Antwerp and a student of Anoushka Shankar, is well-known as a member of Condor Gruppe, Roland van Campenhout, Leki, and Merdan Taplak. He has also collaborated on recordings with artists such as Dijf Sanders. In April 2024, he released his debut album MĀYĀ.
