Eric Owusu is better known for supporting musical heavyweights such as Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas and the Kwashibu Area Band with his energised live drumming performances.

But this seasoned percussionist is making a return to his childhood passion as a singer.
And he’s now fronting his own band Jembaa Groove with co-founder, composer and producer Yannick Nolting.
Eric talks to us about forming the Berlin-based Afro-Soul band during the height of the pandemic, why he infuses Ghanaian languages into his lyrics and where you can see Jembaa Groove this year.
