The OGYA band is a world music band based in Chatttanooga TN. Founded by Kofi Mawuko from Ghana, West Africa and now living in Chattanooga, OGYA is comprised of well experienced musicians who have played with renowned musicians around the world. OGYA band plays high energy music that will make you dance and dance and dance till you are out of breath and then they slow it down to the sultry rhythms of jazz and soul-soothing reggae rhythms.
Highlight performances include opening for LadySmith Black Mbazo at NightFall Concert Series and opening for Reuben Studdard Concert. In June 2009, OGYA performed at Bonnaroo, the world's largest music festival. They have also performed for several fundraising causes, including Alvin Ailey II. Their performance for CaribbeanSEA fundraiser t the Bessie Smith Performance Hall in Chattanooga helped to raise thousands of dollars to clean and maintain the Caribbean Sea environment.
