From 1968 we have this classic recording of Ghanaian highlife. Led by saxophonist
Jerry Hansen this is the Ramblers Dance Band. The 15 piece band plays a very
percussive warm African evening sound. A collection of 13 short but catchy songs
with vocal harmony over guitars and sharp percussion, just the way we like it.

All records are broken today. 3554 pageloads is quite a lot. Shame though nobody leaves a few words..

Ouch! I was waiting until I’d played the music before commenting – although knowing other Ramblers’ records I could have guessed at how good it would be. And it is! This band seem to me to take the danceband sound to a new level, and it’s especially evident on this album. Many, many thanks, as always.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

Hello Moos!
I downloaded this record some years ago. At least since then your rip is faulty –
track 3 = Ama bonsu.
I think you would make everybody happy if you replace the faulty track 3 by a new rip.
Thanks in advance / Thomas
I had to rip it again but fixed it for ya..enjoy
Hi Moos,
I agree with thomas for the missing track. Thank you in advance for your commitment.
Regards.
..done..
Halo Moos!
