Kofo Prepares for Royal Performance


Kofo The Wonderman (Master Drummer, Composer, Lead Singer and Bandleader) recently visited Media Recording working on a piece to be played for the King of Nigeria. When Kofo is working on a serious project, you won't find him without our own Steve Young at the console. Steve has co-produced 3 albums for Kofo since 2001.

Kofo’s stage name ‘The Wonderman’ reflects his  creative skill and ability to master the ‘Talking Drum’. The ‘Talking Drum’ is  the only percussion instrument that can speak words as accurately as the human  tongue. For more about Kofo visit www.kofomusic.com
