King Onyina – Original Evergreen Tunes vol. 1,Decca , Happy Bird

Speaking about digging up old stuff, this rare piece of
Ghana highlife was brought to me by a friend. He travels
the world to find these treasures. First record I heard by
King Onyina, born Kwabena Onyina. His father used to have
a guitar and when he died and left it to Kwabena at the age of 13,
young King Onyina decided to make a living out of the instrument.
I have read somewhere on the web King Onyina passed away some 5
months ago. Let’s pay him respect in playing his music, listen.

    More great Highlife! Thanks again Moos.
    I was unsuccessfully searching for stuff by King Onyina just the other day, after listening to the tracks on “I’ve Found My Love” (posted at osibisaba.blogspot) so you’ve timed this one very well – Cheers!

    Good Lord! You’re great or as they say back in my Ashanti village, “Wo ye buei”!!!
    God bless you in all your endeavours.
