Ashanti Brothers Band
Wo Yonko Da Ne Wo Da
Philips 1976

We had two great albums with the Ashanti Brothers so far.
I remember wanting to post this album when Jillem beat
me to it. Hey, that’s how blogging goes. Out of respect for
HTD I didn’t post it then. Over time we did share quite some
albums nevertheless. Below Jillem’s liner notes in the file.

“description
Originating from the capital of the Ashanti region, Kumasi,
this beautiful debut features Osei Kwame Vasco on lead
vocals and Osei Kofi on lead guitar. this group is a prime
example of the richness that highlife music can embody –
not to mention one of the dopest-looking ensembles to
ever to grace an album cover – and this first outing of theirs
is flawess from beginning to end. definitely check out the
medley that kicks off side two for further proof.
the group went on to produced a series of full-lengths and
singles, most notably their 1978 ‘Kill Me and Fly’.”

Tot nu toe hadden we twee albums met de Ashanti brothers.
Op het moment dat ik deze plaat wilde posten was Jillem me
net voor. Tja dat gebeurt met bloggen. Door de jaren hebben
we best veel platen gedeeld, uit respect heb ik dat met deze
toen niet gedaan. Hierboven Jillem’s liner notes uit de file ..
