New Doc 'Too Much Music' Reclaims Kiki Gyan's Story From the Margins

Director Aseye Fiagbe grew up hearing the music of Kiki Gyan, the legendary Ghanaian keyboardist who played with the band Osibis. But here's the thing: all she really knew about him was how he died. The rest—his life, his vision, his actual story—stayed locked away.

That gap bothered her enough to make a documentary about it. Too Much Music isn't just a music history project; it's about something deeper: who gets to tell an artist's story, and why so many of the realest ones get left in the dark.

It's a familiar pattern. A musician shapes culture, influences the sound of a generation, then gets reduced to a footnote or a death notice. Fiagbe's doc flips the script, centering Gyan's life and work instead of the tragedy. That's the kind of reclamation work hip-hop culture knows well—pulling buried artists back into the light where they belong.

This one's worth paying attention to.
