Atongo Zimba has revealed the benefits he has gotten from playing the 'kologo' instrument, which has been his constant companion throughout his journey.
Speaking on E Vibes with Becky, he fondly referred to it as his 'passport' because it has allowed him to travel across Africa without needing official documentation.
Atongo Zimba proudly shared that he crafted the instrument himself, drawing on the skills he learned from his grandfather, who was also an instrument maker.
“This instrument is my signature. This is my 'passport'. This is what I took around Africa with no passport. That’s why Fela couldn’t know where I come from because I didn’t have an ID card. I made this instrument myself because my grandfather knew how to make an instrument. I grew up with an instrument at home. I didn’t know I could make money out of it until I came to Accra,” he revealed.
The E Vibes show strives to evoke memories through the setting of the interview and their rise, the memories they made on their way to the top with the hope that their unique stories will help shape the younger generation.
