Onipa is a vibrant and progressive musical collective that embodies a fusion of African music and electronics, interweaving a rich tapestry of rhythms and sonic landscapes that captivate and energize audiences across borders. The group's name means 'human' in Akan, the language of the Ashanti people of Ghana, reflecting their message of connection and unity through music. Onipa's sound is a dynamic blend of Afrobeat, highlife, jazz, and funk, paired with contemporary electronic elements that make for an explosive mix of cultural heritage and modern-day creativity.
Their releases, including 'Off The Grid,' 'Marching Over,' and 'Fine Tho,' showcase the band's ability to merge traditional African musical sensibilities with cutting-edge production. The 'Tapes of Utopia' mixtape and the album 'We No Be Machine,' including its subsequent remixes like 'We No Be Machine: Rewired' and the Werkha Remix, demonstrate Onipa's dedication to exploring the depths of their sound while challenging and breaking genre conventions. Their music does not simply aim to make bodies move; it also speaks to themes of pan-Africanism, social issues, and the collective human experience, positioning Onipa as torchbearers of a fresh, globally-conscious musical movement.
