RELEASE DATE
6/10/2022
2023 restock! A classic and essential highlife and Afro funk album from one of the greatest Ghanaian singer and composer, reissued for the first time. The legendary
Alhaji Kwabena Frimpong
's fantastic rare album was recorded in 1984 in Germany and originally produced and distributed from Hamburg. K. Frimpong was born on July 22nd, 1939 at Ofoase in the Ashanti Akim district, and died Oct 18th, 2005 in Kumasi (Ghana). He entered right into music after elementary school by joining
Star de Republic
and later
Oko's Band
after which he left to go to
K. Gyasy
's band where he worked for more than six years. As a prolific songwriter and singer, here's the reissue of his amazing album, a modern fusion of highlife and soul. The excellent background is given by the famous
Cubanos Fiesta
with members of
Vis-A-Vis
band, such as the famous
Sammy Cropper
on guitar or
Slim Manu
on bass. Originally produced by
Atakora Mensah
in Hamburg, this four song recording is a blend of danceable and spiritual soul and straight highlife. A must have vinyl of percussive Afro funk for all the music connoisseurs. LP is a true masterpiece that's hard-to-find and is nearly impossible to find a decent affordable copy. Remastered by
Frank Merritt
at The Carvery. Fully licensed by the Alhadji Kwame Frimpong family.
