Showing posts with the label Ghana afrobeat

Vis-A-Vis - Obi Agye Me Dofo - Aparently this means someone has taken my love one from me!

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.
