The Sey Sisters are Edna Sey, Yolanda Sey & Kathy Sey. They are building their careers as singers and actresses separately, although they thankfully decided to engage them into The Sey Sisters.
In 2006, they realized how natural felt to work and sing together on stage as sisters and as friends, and The Sey Sisters became their dream come true. After these years, their singing and dancing has been developed and their fellowship has brought them to this raising moment. They have also created a group with a very talented band that backs them up and accompanies them to spread their love for both funky and gospel music: FunkyStep and the Sey Sisters.
The Sey Sisters, all three beautifully dressed up, share the stage with their brilliant pianist and saxophonist, Albert Bartolomé, who helps them complete an incredible circle of good energy and fresh air that defines their shows.
“Gospel is the music we sing, the music we like and it’s who we are.”
“Let freedom ring” we’re doing a small and humble tribute to the slave’s battle and, at the same time, the African-American’s civil rights movement.
History says that slaves used chants and hymns to manifest their sorrows, made themselves free and above all to thank God for what they had, hoping that their situation would change.
“Let freedom ring” is a peace of Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I have a dream” (1963). He exposed this speech in a moment were freedom was out of reach for most of the Americans. He demanded freedom for a community that was fighting against the oppression and discrimination because of their skin colour.
From the intimacy of our live shows to the intimacy of our first album, The Sey Sisters, we raise our voices for freedom to anyone who feels oppressed discriminated, who’s fighting for freedom, and so we can all live in a better world. A world where solidarity is the only colour that matters, the only chant we’ll sing.
Gospel is our way to capture all those feelings and put it together. From our Ghanaian roots to gospel of all times, adding our own personal point of view and compositions, we sing as gratitude for everything we have with a reminder of the struggle that had those that precede us.
