E26 Wanlov The Kubolor

mercredi 24 juin 2026 • Durée 01:29:43

Wanlov the Kubolor has spent nearly two decades making albums most artists wouldn't touch — one about illegal gold mining years before it became a national crisis, one about Ghana's anti-LGBT politics, a whole catalogue of "card" albums each tackling a different piece of social commentary.

In this episode, Sewor Okudzeto sits down with the Ghanaian-Romanian rapper, producer and filmmaker for a full career retrospective: the FOKN Bois origin story with longtime collaborator M3NSA (the duo behind Coz Ov Moni, the world's first pidgin musical film), his production work with Stevo Atambire and Alostmen, his more recent work with Lamisi on her Real World Records project Let Us Clap, his move into directing over 100 of his own music videos, and the night FOKN Bois played one of their most provocative songs to 5,000 people at the Afrika Shrine in Lagos.

We also get into why he's pulled most of his catalogue off Spotify on principle, his early influences from Ghanaian highlife legends, and what it means to build a career on saying the things other artists won't.

Afro Soul Stories — hosted by Sewor Okudzeto — explores the roots, rhythms and creative journeys of African and diaspora artists.
