Akwaaba is a webssite that is dedicated to spreading African music and pop culture. This site was created by Benjamin Lebrave. He is a DJ that wanted to explore more music trends within Africa. Benjamin was born and raised in Paris, France. He graduated from ENSAE (Paris Tech), with a double master’s degree in economics and statistics. He decided instead of further his education with a PhD in the US, he chose to follow his passion: music. Benjamin now runs Akwaaba from Accra, Ghana. It was started because Benjaminfound it way too difficult to access a whole lot of music from Africa. So he travels around places in Africa and helps promote artists. He markets them on his website and helps them book shows.
