Aghogho is Caro Abutoh's own music project. She just released her first EP '17'. Together with Simon Pas on the drums, Michiel Los on the guitar, Côme Lenseigne on the keys, Julia Warmerdam on the trumpet and Caro who sings the lead and plays the bass guitar, Aghogho was created last summer 2024 during a residency in Het Bos with self-written music. Aghogho is Caro's Nigerian name and means: child of god.

She has always been involved with music. She has been singing since she was young and playing the piano for a long time. Aghogho learned to make music during her studies. She is now getting her master's degree in Kleinkunst at the Conservatory of Antwerp. There Aghogho underwent a three-year search where she found her own sound and voice by experimenting with different instruments, polyphony, rhythm and producing softwares.

Aghogho's music can best be described as a mix of soul and Afropop with sometimes some funky patterns. She makes and plays acoustic music based on feeling, but she remains curious and eager to learn new things, which sometimes allows surprising elements to creep into her music. She is half Nigerian and wants to express that in her music by using afrobeats that make you have no choice but to move. Aghogho has been compared to Nilüfer Yanya and Zap Mama!

Aghogho is very much looking forward to further exploring her music journey. A warm voice, a deep bass, afrobeats, and lots of polyphony will ensure that you can't do anything but move! ;)
