The PathHeights are singer, songwriter, producer duo Akosua Aset and Aumuna. Derived from the word Ptahites. It means spiritual, creative beings conveying a collective conscious message. The PathHeights started together back in 2012. Their sound is a smooth collaboration of Roots Alternative Acoustic Reggae with Poetry. It is a stripped back, natural and organic sound.
The African drums and acoustic guitar are very fundamental in their production. They incorporate various kinds of percussion and the natural sounds in their environment. The lyrical content of their songs is inspirational and spiritual. It comes with unmixed messages, while being hard hitting and real.
The PathHeights RE-present a world sound on a organic level. They captivate the audience with melodies and harmonious vocals. These combine to a rootical vibration with 100% live instruments.
