Textures by Hagan
7th October 2022, Hagan shares his long-awaited debut album Textures with previously unheard fusion single ‘Telha ft. Luedji Luna & Sango’ - a sun-kissed percussive track with lush vocals dancing over sparkling guitar riffs and broken beats - out now on Python Syndicate.
A stunning debut that showcases Hagan’s carefully honed production skills - the product of a life in music - Textures is an homage to global sounds and influences, an expression of his journey of self-discovery and reflection on his British-Ghanaian heritage, and showcases his keen love for collaboration.
Recorded between London and Accra, the project draws out a range of Afro-influenced sounds while listing the collaboration of emerging talents across the vibrant landscape of contemporary African music, Aymos, Bryte, Meron T, Ayeisha Raquel, Griffit Vigo and more. A bold step into Hagan’s Afrocentric sonic realm and creative vision.
