About
Blitz Bazawule's The Burial of Kojo gets a live score from Peter Somuah, Latanya Alberto and MiDi KwaKwa; young Esi searches for her missing father.
During Black Soil Film Festival, Blitz Bazawule's 2018 feature debut The Burial of Kojo is shown with a new live score. Ghanaian trumpeter and composer Peter Somuah developed the score for this performance, together with vocalists Latanya Alberto and MiDi KwaKwa. The music mixes jazz, soul, gospel, highlife and West African rhythms; Somuah combines his Ghanaian background and contemporary jazz with Alberto's neo-soul and MiDi KwaKwa's Afro-inspired alternative r&b.
The film centres on young Esi. When her father disappears during a gold mine expedition, she goes looking for him. Family drama, dreams and spirituality come together in a magical-realist story, carried by the landscapes and imagery of Ghana. In the live cinema performance, film and live music enter into a direct dialogue.
