It was an accidental meeting between Chief, who was playing his balafon in the park and Lene, that saw the beginnings of the Glasgow African Balafon Orchestra (GABO). Fast forward two years, GABO is now a 9-piece orchestra who recorded their debut album Jungle Fever in the summer of 2020. The band is composed of musicians and storytellers from all walks of life. Each member brings their own flavour to the music which is a fusion of Ghanaian folk tales and traditional songs from Chief Chebe’s village, mixed with highlife and western jazz.
