Yaaba waane INFO Rebel Up Records, Makkum Records and Red Wig Records are proud to present the 2nd full length album "Putoo Katare Yire" by Ghanaian artist Ayuune Sule. This is the sound of optimism and hope. šPutoo Katare Yire› or šWickedness has no home›, is the title of Ayuune Sule's brand new album translated from Frafra, the language from Ghana's Upper East Region. He is a master of the Kologo, the double stringed lute played by troubadours for spiritual and educational messages. Ayuune Sule brings the soul into Kologo Power. He is the main kologo star in Kumasi, the second city of Ghana and capital of the Ashanti region. Together with King Ayisoba (Ayuune is part of his band), Guy One, Atongo Zimba, Stevo Atambire and Sambo, he represents the generation that broke Kologo music outside of the North East Region of Ghana. In 2015 he released his 7" single with the songs šWhat A Man Can Do A Woman Can Do More Better› and šWho Knows Tomorrow› on Makkum Records (MR12), which brought him to western scenes and audiences. This was followed by his 2018 album "We have One Destiny". In Bongo near Bolgatanga in the north of Ghana, where Sule grew up, is the location of the Top Link Studio which is run by producer Francis Ayamga. The studio is a magnet for local talents and musicians of the region, nationwide and beyond. In collaboration with and aided by Arnold de Boer of Makkum Records, much of Kologo Power and Frafra Power music has been produced there in recent years, shaping the scene that it is today. Even African Head Charge's front man Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah decided to check it out and ended up recording two songs there with Ayuune Sule for this new album, as well as featurings by Prince Buju, Florence Adone and Fausty Amoa Mabila.
