S4 Ep11 - Using music to shape fashion - with Gutta Soles founder Kromanteng - pt2

Gutta Soles' name is inspired by Ghana's open gutters and the idea that although they may be filled with rubbish, there is treasure to be found. <br/><br/>For founder Kromanteng, there is added symbolism in that Ghana's gutters are open - not closed, which means there is an opportunity for everyone to pull themselves out of their current situation.<br/><br/>The Gutta Soles brand has its operations in Accra, Ghana. The shoes are made from car tyres, ntuma (cloth), organic cotton and rubber. I spoke to founder Kromanteng about his brand. <br/><br/>All images used with the consent of Gutta Soles. The music featured in this podcast is called 'Di Asempa' and comes from Atakora Manu & His Sound Engineers.<br/><br/>If you missed the first segment, click this link to listen.<br/>Part 1: https://youtu.be/NLd0Ao1R8SA<br/>Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGEIyiVVqCA<br/>Part 4: https://youtu.be/Glu1hOWmnXw<br/><br/>Visit www.guttasoles.com for more on the brand. <br/><br/>For more content like this, visit: [a]www.msbwrites.co.uk%3B[/a] [a]www.akadimagazine.com[/a] for more or follow on @misbeeewrites or @akadimag on Instagram<br/>And join our Podcast Club to access exclusive and early release content and discounts here: https://ko-fi.com/akadimagazine<br/><br/>The music in this episode is made exclusively for AKADi Magazine by Kyekyeku and the Superopongstarz and is called 'Life No Dey Easy'.<br/><br/>AKADi Magazine is a digital publication connecting Ghanaians in Ghana and the Diaspora, visit us at [a]www.akadimagazine.com[/a] and www.msbwrites.co.uk for all your community news.
