London based producer, pianist and vocalist. Afro Electronica. Gabriel Benn, 21, cultivated his love for Ghanaian music through his 7 visits to the country between 2009-2012. After making connections with a network of local musicians and producers, the vibrancy and energy of Accra permeated through his music and created a wonderful hybrid of African influenced etherial electronica.
