Well-known for his extraordinary musical gifts and exciting innovations as composer, master traditional drummer, multi-instrumentalist and singer, Bortier is a popular and sought after performer, delivers songs in English, and his native Ghanaian languages of Ga, Twi, and Ewe. Bortier Okoe truly is one of Africa’s most inspirational musicians. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Bortier was a child prodigy who spent much of his childhood travelling Ghana with his family in their music and dance performance group, Nyomor Baatsor, and it’s not surprising to learn that he was recognised by the Ghanaian government as a master drummer and cultural ambassador when he was only seventeen years old.
Come see Bortier and his band at bar 303 on Friday 28th of July!
