Seminal sounds from the golden age of Ghanaian music.
Highlife, rock, and soul collide and merge with tradition and culture. New styles meet old styles. A new generation renews old musical customs. New fashions meet old fashions, creating new fusions. Features music from the Ogyatanaa Show Band, Hedzoleh Sounds, Ebo Taylor & Honny & the Bees.
These tracks were originally available on vanishingly rare 70s pressings, then a highly collectible 5LP box set released in 2009.
This special vinyl edition is produced in conjunction with the James Barnor archive, featuring a previously unpublished 1976 photo from the archive of Ghana's most famous photographer.
