Selasee & The Fafa Family is a 6 piece band formed by Selasee Atiase in 2007.

influences.
Born in Accra, Ghana, Selasee Atiase grew up exposed to the colorful and energetic sounds of highlife music as well as reggae, funk, R&B and pop influences. With this exposure Selasee created his own niche—a unique blend of easy listening Reggae music, West African Highlife and some Pop music influences, threading together English and Ghanaian lyrics for a bright and captivating sound.
