This devoted Christian travels the length and height of Ghana to sing at weddings, funerals and other religious ceremonies, with or without her live band and her 50 or so backup singers. Between services, she joins Francis Ayamga in his hilltop studio in Bongo, a town in the Upper East Region of Ghana bordering Burkina Faso. In addition to being a talented multi-instrumentalist, Francis has become an in-demand producer, since his work with King Ayisoba, a virtuoso of the two-stringed instrument called the kologo. Curator of the compilation <em>This is FraFra Power<\/em>, Francis has become an expert in the field and now decides to add his own digital touch with frenetic polyrhythms and retro futuristic synthetic loops. On <em><a href=\"https:\/\/lindaayupuka.bandcamp.com\/album\/god-created-everything\">God Created Everything<\/a><\/em>, the duo propels traditional Frafra gospel into the clubs, in the manner of Ugandan acholitronix and Malian balani show, to establish themselves together as the ambassadors of a generation ready to take the traditions of the north of the country into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;This mix showcases my playful production style where flamboyant vocals, Afro-electro rhythms and smashing drum pads collide for a wild ride, across 33 tracks by artists from the northeastern region of Ghana and Burkina Faso &#8211; all produced by myself in my Top Link studio.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1381649683&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px;
