Bokoor Band, founded in 1971 by British émigré John Collins and Ghanaian guitarist Robert Beckley, emerged as a vibrant force in Ghana's music scene. Their dynamic 12-14 piece ensemble masterfully blended highlife, Afrobeat, and Afro-rock, drawing inspiration from icons like Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, and James Brown. Notable tracks such as "Onukpa Shawarpo" and "Yeah Yeah Ku Yeah" showcase their innovative fusion of genres. Beyond their musical contributions, the band played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Bokoor Recording Studio, a cornerstone in documenting Ghana's post-independence popular music.
