Kofi Kunkpe is a master drummer and multi-instrumentalist from Ghana, West Africa. In Ghana he performed extensively and taught traditional drumming and dancing to westerners traveling to his country. A keeper of his culture, he is passionate about sharing it with others.

As a child Kofi studies a wide range of musical instruments at Peter King College of Music in Nigeria. At 16 he returned to Ghana to study traditional drumming and dance with Agoro Theatre Company where he became a professional member of the group and toured around the world including to New York.

In 2012 Kofi moved to Australia and settled in Warburton, where we now performs and teaches across Australia bringing joy, rhythm and inspiration to all he encounters, as well as working as a percussionist with many of Melbourne's best African performers.

Kofi’s passion is the traditional drumming of his tribal group and is also a skilled base player. He loves taking time out to learn new things, which is how we finds the time to rest. He is also fluent in English, Ewe, Twi and Fanti.
