Jansky Noise - Past Present & Future Star Music

What a crime that this upload on Youtube currently has just 503 views. It is a terrible shame that records like these are lost in space, this is incredible.  "Gyedu-Blay Ambolley's 'The Message' is an incredibly vibrant and energetic track that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Afro-funk and highlife music. The song is driven by a pulsating rhythm section, featuring an infectious groove that compel us to move. Ambolley's signature deep, gravelly voice delivers socially conscious lyrics with a powerful and engaging presence. The horn section adds a dynamic layer, bringing a lively and uplifting feel to the track. 'The Message' is not just a song but an experience, reflecting Ambolley's mastery in blending traditional Ghanaian sounds with modern influences. It's a celebration of culture, rhythm, and the enduring spirit of African music."

I am unable to understand the lyrics from this song, I guess it is spoken in Akan. What I am able to detect loud and clear is how brilliant this music is. It is also encouraging to see that at this time 2.4 million others have found this upload on Youtube.  Incredible life energy and music here, afrobeat and highlife from 1976, when you play this, you cannot help but ride that energy the origional version on Brobisco House of Music  which by all accounts seems to have a very extensive back catalogue of musics from Ghana.   Due for a re-release in January 2021, on the label which describes itself "as not genre specific", wearebusybodies from Canada. Well done to those guys for snapping this one up, as it´s the kind of thing you would want on vinyl.  You are able to pre-order now.   

The vocal on this is just too good. This version for me is without question the best. 

When it comes to duets, Ella and Louis really are the tops, this song is so complexed as it tackles relationships, and their complication, life and indecision. It is also a perfect number to play as your alternavite Christmas record, as somehow it does still feel festive.  I saw you strolling by your solitary Am I nosy?
