Following the recent huge successful launch and tour of Bortier Okoe's CD in Ghana, he now has the pleasure of launching Dzeng Sane in Australia. 

Bringing in audiences from across all ages, inspiring the youth, receiving attention from radio stations across Accra, and considered an important musician and messenger in his home country,  Bortier's music features intense, intricate poly-rhythms through to slow, passionate grooves. Exhilarating performances by Bortier and his band creates excitement and joy for audiences.

Dzeng Sane means 'world matters' and each track on the CD expresses different elements related to issues in the world, ranging from Culture, which reminds us – Don't forget your culture, your culture is your life – while the title song Dzeng Sane, is about materialism and the negative effects it can have – All around the world, people are killing…just because of money - why is life all about money and material things? We leave them behind… 
His song Free People is a freedom song for everyone around the world, and Sumo is about universal love between all people.
