The Hit Sound of the Ramblers
Dance Band, Decca 1968
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.
tracks;
1 Ekombi
2 Agyanka dabre
3 Ama bonsu
4 Nyame ne nhyehyee
5 Nyame mbere
6 Knock on wood
7 Onua pa, due !
8 Ima abasi
9 Better ni
10 Gyae su na nkomo dzi
11 Meda gbefa !
12 Meni nda obiara so

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.
