"Cedi Spirit" is a sonic meditation on Ghana’s complex relationship with money as expressed through popular culture. Curated by Dotse, the mix touches on everything from ambition to anxiety, hip-hop to highlife, and street hustle to spiritual longing. Blending archival audio with classic and contemporary musical gems from Ghana, Cedi Spirit attempts to explore how some of the nation's musicians have used music to reflect, resist, and reimagine the role of wealth in everyday life.
