Immy’s ‘Afrodelik’ music fuses Psychedlia, Zamrock and Highlife. Hailing from the Australian surf town of Torquay/Jan Juc, Immy grew up playing drums in the local rock scene alongside performing traditional West African music with his family. Wishing to explore the Trans-Atlantic connection between Pan-African Rhythm, Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll, he traveled to Ghana to study with his Grandfather, ‘Palm Wine Highlife’ legend Koo Nimo. In a twist of fate, an Asante Queen Mother had recently passed away and there was a ban on the traditional drumming he had also come to learn. His Grandfather suggested he try to focus on guitar instead. Owusu then added a fuzz pedal and began to experiment... Back in Australia and living through lockdowns in a broken down caravan in the bushland behind Bells Beach, he got into Zamrock and Global Psychedelic Music.
