Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

Total Hip Replacement & Anyankofo is a special Danish-Ghanaian super-group known for their energetic and unique live concerts. The band playfully navigates from infectious reggae rhythms through soulful highlife. The project was launched with full force in 2021-22 with the release of the album "Anyankofo", which features legends such as Pat Thomas, Kwame Yeboah and Rocky Dawuni. The years 2022-2025 were explosive years for the band with an extensive release tour in Ghana, Greenland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland and France with more than 150 shows and thousands of listeners. Both the album and the live shows were celebrated with good reviews in magazines and on the radio such as GAFFA (DK's biggest music magazine), RIDDIM(DE), SONGLINES(UK), COSMO WDR(DE) and won a Danish Grammy for "Best Live Act of The Year" in 2021. The band has performed at major festivals such as Bout Du Monde (FR), Reggae Jam (DE), Ostroda Reggae Festival (PO), Tempo Latino (FR) and as a sold-out headliner in DK.

Together with producer Kwame Yeboah and renowned Ghanaian musicians from the bands of Pat Thomas and Ebo Taylor, the fuel of highlife is brought into the reggae machine of Total Hip Replacement. "Anyankofo" embodies the band's vision of collaborating with musicians from different backgrounds, pushing boundaries and building bridges through music and friendship. The music fuses reggae, highlife, afrobeat, dub and soul into a bold mix. The live show features a 9-piece energetic group on stage, a tight horn section and infectious vibes.

In the spring of 2024, the band regrouped in Ghana and recorded new songs to deepen the collaboration and bring new and exciting elements to the project. The first of these songs were released in 2025 when the group embarked on a new tour in Europe. 2026 will see the release of a new album and a new summer tour in Europe.
