About Our Music

The GIHOC Band was established in 1980 as a cultural ambassador for one of Ghana's most prestigious brands. For over four decades, our talented ensemble has been creating music that reflects our rich heritage while embracing contemporary global sounds.

Based at the GIHOC Distilleries headquarters in Accra, our group comprises skilled musicians who combine traditional Ghanaian instruments with modern compositions, creating a unique sound that has earned acclaim across West Africa and beyond.

"Our music, like our spirits, blends tradition with innovation to create something truly special."

The band has performed at numerous corporate events, cultural festivals, and international exhibitions, showcasing not only GIHOC's brand values but also Ghana's vibrant musical traditions. Our repertoire spans highlife, afrobeat, jazz fusion, and contemporary African pop, all infused with the distinctive GIHOC character.
