  1. My oh My, another Sammy Kofi, you are the perfect provider for good music on this for me a glorious morning. Thank you very much. I fully agree with your comments.
    No God, and No begging for music. Life is so easy when one takes it as it comes. and enjoy when one finds another unknown beauty.
    thanks Richard

  2. Great album by one of my favourite old school highlife artists, thanks! But unfortunately for you, “Awurade Yesu” doesn’t mean “life is better without Jesus” but “Lord Jesus” instead (Awurade = Lord). Kofi Sammy is a Christian and he often refers to God in his songs, just like in song nr.2 “Onyame na oye” meaning “God is good”.

  4. some of the titles of African System orchestra or Oliver de Coque suggest they are singing praise to slaughter warlords. I won’t let the religious stuff spoil a good album. You have told numerous times your personal disgust with religion, so I think I understand that you cannot turn away once you know it…..
    so much other music to enjoy

    thanks for the anibal re-up

  11. Hi, I&#39;ve been following your blog for some time and I just want to tell you that at the moment I&#39;m posting some singles from Kenia from the 1970s. I can&#39;t find informations for all the musicians so any comments are welcome.

  12. Hey Moos! Thanks a lot for this rare Okukuseku album!! It is in mint condition too! This is the first time you have ever posted a mint Ghanaian LP on your blog. I&#39;m very impressed, I don&#39;t know what else to say!!! A million thanks and gratitude for honouring Okukuseku! You are simply the best!<br /><br />-Caleb

  13. Thanks for this, Moos. I didn&#39;t have a chance to listen until now, and it sounds great. Went shopping with my wife with it on a chip in the car. I expect to be playing it quite a bit.<br /><br />And looking forward to your new page, when it becomes available. Best of luck!
