Hello groovers, it is nice to see so many happy reactions on Ghanaian music. I decided to post this one by the African Brothers, it has been waiting for the opportunity to find it's way to you for some time now. Nana Ampadu I and his African Brothers made a big pile of records and[...]

Today's lp by the African Brothers is a quite rare one. It is ungooglable so to speak, zero results, only on 'Popsike' where you only find the most obscure albums. Great find by our buddy Kali from Belgium when he was in Ghana last year. African Brothers' albums keep coming up once in a while,[...]

You are the lucky one this weekend Thiol, I found it not so very long ago. Another African Brothers album to get closer to completion of their list of releases some fine day. How many do we still have to find ? I wouldn't know, I do know the next big recordfair is on my[...]

Good morning groovers, once again I find out through a comment that our former host, blogger, has thrown away one of our precious old albums. It concerns a very nice lp by the great African Brothers. The Best of Kwame Ampadu used to be on my blog long time ago. It is another surprise to[...]

Nana Kwame Ampadu I and his African Brothers are back at the GG today. They made a whole lot of swell records of which we had a bunch already. Often hard to find a year of release, with this one I've got no idea. The highlife we get to hear is very groovy but the[...]

I think we had some twelve of their records in the past. Lp's by these guys keep appearing time after time and I have no idea how many they made. Here's one I recently found, good thing it is in reasonable condition. The problem with Ghanaian lp's from that era is mostly the poor shape[...]

Have you ever seen this before ? The woman on the frontcover of this lp is the producer who arranged this lp to be released on Makossa records. Quite extraordinary and modest not to place your own picture on the sleeve. Nana Ampadu I is such a modest person. He dedicated this album to Miss[...]

We had us some 10 or 11 of their albums already. The African Brothers must have been the most popular highlife group in Ghana. I hardly ever heard anything I didn't like by their hand. Wonderful atmospheric music you can't deny, so... do not hesitate and listen to this treasure.. tracks; 1 Onipa nnse hwe[...]

Here's an other LP on which the African Brothers console the bereaved using words like allah, jah and god. Personally, I would rather read some Lao Tse on a moment like that, but who am I ? On this 1982 LP, we miss one title. The sleeve speaks of three songs while the actual vinyl[...]

This record album is a special donation by Nana Kwame Ampadu I to Okwahu United Football Club ( Asaase Aban ) as his personal contribution towards the upkeep and running of the club. Very relaxed and laid back highlife by master Nana Kwame Ampadu I who delivers as always. For your lazy sunday afternoon, enjoy.[...]

It's been quite a while since we had us some 'African Brothers'. This LP is titled 'Sanbra', after the song written by Alex Konadu. It does not tell us from which year it is, do you know ? It does tell us it's a Nigerian production on Jay Jay Records, listen. tracks; 1 Otan hunu[...]

Nana Kwame Ampadu I was the leading man in this fine band. Composer, arranger, singer, guitarist, he was it all. I am not sure from which year it is, probably somewhere half way the 70's. Another gap that's being filled on the world wide web, pick it up and play, you won't regret. Sweet highlife[...]

In 1963, Paa Steel Kwame Ampadu started the eight piece African Brothers Band. After scoring a huge hit with 'Agyanka daberemu' in 1966, they went professional in 1967. This is the group's second LP and must be from about 1973 when they counted 16 members. Fantastic Ghana highlife from one of it's main performers. The[...]

Dear friends of the Global Groove, on the sixth of may this page celebrates it's second birthday. Tonight I'm going to stay online and post us a couple of killer albums. First to go is this joyful LP. Quoting the backsleeve;"..the African Brothers have recorded 56 plates on the 45 rpm and this their first[...]
