"Scenic Roots" offers conversations that matter in the heart of Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley.From the mountains to the river, our conversations are rooted deep within every corner of our community - reflecting who we are, who we were and who we can become.We engage with the news that affects our community, behind and beyond the headlines. We build bridges that span from creators and innovators to storytellers and the outdoors. We focus on our challenges as many communities in one - as we celebrate what inspires us. We resonate with countless voices - in words and spaces, sounds and songs.We are "Scenic Roots."Ray Bassett hosts and produces "Scenic Roots" at WUTC.

Kofi Mawuko / Facebook

Kofi Mawuko was born in Ghana, West Africa.

He learned singing, dancing and playing music at an early age - traveling the world as lead dancer and master drummer with a performing troupe.

More than twenty years ago, Kofi came to this country - making the Southeast, and Chattanooga, his home - while still hitting the road to perform solo on percussion or with his Ogya World Music Band.

In the past year, Kofi has been one of the teaching artists working in our community through the Wolf Trap program at UTC’s Southeast Center for Education in the Arts, now known as the Arts-Based Collaborative at UTC.
