Widely recognized as one of the most remarkable drummers to tour in Africa, Europe, and the US, Paa Kow has toured internationally, sharing stages with both African and American luminaries including Kojo Antwi, Amakye Dede and Victor Wooten.

The Ghana-born drummer and composer, Paa Kow, (pronounced Pah-Ko), blends the rhythm and artistry of his home with jazz and African roots, creating his own Afro-Fusion sound. Dubbed "Ghana's most artistic drummer" (Modern Ghana), he plays a custom, traditionally inspired Ghanaian drum set that is the only one of its kind in the world, guaranteeing concert goers an extraordinary musical experience.

His release, Cookpot, (2017) has all the ingredients and deep rhythms to tastefully serve up that cookin' groove Paa Kow calls Afro-Fusion.
