Third LP by this artist at this page. As usual I can't really tell you anything useful about him. I am not even sure if I like the message he is bringing. The only thing I am absolutely sure of is what my ears tell me. And that is something good ! Whether it's is[...]

Okukuseku International Band of Ghana led by Chief Sammy Kofi had this recording made at Rogers All Stars Sound Studio, Okolo Street, Onitsha, Lagos, Nigeria. I think it's a tremendous album, with that sparkling mixed sound of RAS but with Ghanaian highlife and it's typical flow. It is a bit crackly but still, don't miss.[...]

Kofi Sammy, who left the K. Gyasi's Band and Water Proof, who left E.K.'s no.1 Band, then formed the Okukuseku's No.2 Guitar Band in 1969. After recording some 60 plates on 45 rpm, this is their second LP. It's quality is not perfect and makes a little jump in track 2, but still... We congratulate[...]

Uit Ghana zijn dit de African Brothers International onder leiding van Nana Kwame Ampadu I. We hebben er al heel wat van hun hand gezien, het lijkt op een verhaal dat nooit eindigt en dat is maar goed ook. Ik durf te zeggen dat dit een van de beste groepen is die Ghana ooit heeft[...]

Ik had een paar Ghanese platen op de korrel voor vandaag en dit is 'm geworden. Paa Bobo's stijl is de fijnste. Na gewerkt te hebben met Okukuseku van Kofi Sammy in Nigeria is Paa voor zichzelf be- gonnen en niet zonder succes. Zijn platen zijn zeer gewild in heel West Afrika. Ik zeg zeer[...]
