about

Agongo sings and plays the kologo, the typical instrument of the Frafra people in the upper east of Ghana.
He was born (1980) and raised in Bolgatanga, the regional capital, and started playing as a young boy.
His career started when he performed at his father's funeral, and people began inviting him to play at their events.
Nowadays Agongo (also known as Jacob Abagnagongo) is very popular in the Frafra community,
with several albums, videos and local hit songs to his name.

The famous kologo musician King Ayisoba helped to create this album, and he makes a guest appearance on "Suubala".
King Ayisoba is on a mission to promote kologo music worldwide, and Agongo's first international release
is another step towards its global expansion. Kologo power!
