From the coastal cities of Accra and Cape Coast, basked in a tropical sound heavily influenced by highlife, to the semi-Saharan cities of Tamalé and Bolgatanga (part of a self-proclaimed ‘Islamic Funk Belt’) via the central city of Kumasi, Analog Africa (analogafrica.blogspot.com/) has criss-crossed Ghana in search of rare tracks, part of its ongoing, hard-grooving mission to bring the soul, funk, and vintage local pop out of obscurity and into its deserved international place.

Building on the success of the first installment in 2009, Afrobeat Airways 2 (Analog Africa; release: September 17, 2013) is a selection of 13 ultra-rare tracks by some of the musical giants who had created a movement that rocked the West African nation throughout the ‘70s: legendary singer K. Frimpong; Nana Ampedu (leader of the mighty African Brothers Band); Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and his superb guest appearance with The Complex Sounds; afrobeat star Ebo Taylor, backing his son in an unreleased track called ‘Children Don’t Cry’; the enigmatic Rob and his unique blend of twisted afrofunk; innovative drummer De Frank; and Uppers International, with their raw Islamic funk style. More obscure artists such as Los Issufu and his Moslems, Waza Afrika 76 and Tony Sarfo and his Funky Afrosibi make northern hemisphere debuts, adding to a rich list of Ghanaian artists whose music could be transferred seamlessly to any dancefloor in the world.

As with all Analog Africa releases, this is about more than just the sounds. It’s about the place, time, and people who shaped the scene. To document this, the accompanying 44-page booklet of Afrobeat Airways 2 features an introductory essay written by Afropop Worldwide editor Banning Eyre, exploring the development of soul, funk and afrobeat during the ‘60s and ‘70s in Ghana. The remaining 30 pages are packed with interviews and biographies of the artists and producers involved in the creation of this wonderful music.

Additionally, the Analog Africa team have managed to track down the photographers of the famous Modern Photo studios, located at the front of Accra’s legendary TipToe, a venue notorious for organizing unforgettable dance competitions, ‘Miss Tip Toe’ contests and the most in-demand highlife and afrobeat gigs of the day. 400 negatives have been lent to the Analog Africa team. Samy Ben Redjeb selected 50 of the most expressive pictures to document this little-known but striking musical scene.

When Patchworks AKA Voilaaa takes control of a remix, it's rarely a simple facelift. Mucagiami is no exception to the rule. First adapted by Guts, this 1976 song is this time a gap spacio-temporal in Cape Verde 80's. Nervous beat and low snoring, the producer redraws the piece with discoid and round contours. Vum Vum becomes the MC, the fire starter of a club that he helped to reduce to ashes, leaving the synths to finish his dancework alone.

[PREMIERE] GUTS - Mucagiami Feat. Vum - Vum (Voilaaa Remix)

1 Mango (Original radio edit)
Mystery and music, superior and sexy, alluring folks dancing and she plays around laughing. The Mango is a Mambo that always answers back. Laid back.

2 Mango (Club des Belugas Bossa Remix)
This Remix of Mango made by Club des Belugas brings Sunset colors to the music palette of the Ep. Bigband lounge ambience y mucho Sabor!!!!

3 Mango (TheEEs Reggae Remix)
Hot night in a caribbean beach, in the horizon the lights of the city, but we are in a paradise and we don't want to leave. The hunting reggae is our heart beat.

One of the most exciting voices in the Bahama Soul Club family so far ... 
an ongoing love affair, Cuban artist Arema Arega is somewhat a permanent feature and once more she confirms this love match with her unique take on this sweet yellow-green part of a god. Sure it will soon be a classic in your library. Promise! We’ve sent some early demos to friends and supporters and wonderful feedback came in the shape of two brilliant remixes. 
Mighty „Club des Belugas“ (anybody knows these guys??) sent an irresistible Bossa Remix, and world famous project „TheEEs“ (Yes these, everybody knows those) just flew in with a sappy Reggae Roll. It is rumored that these guys now turned their back to badly cashed majordeals to sign for a Million dollar deal on Buyú-Records. 
An album release of „TheEEs“ on Buyú will impress you later this year. So watch out!
