Hailing from Ghana, The Apagya Showband was formed by the legendary Ebo Taylor and Ambolley after they left ‘Uhuru Dance Band’. The group produced only a couple of singles.

‘Tamfo’ is a joyous, uptempo Afro-funk groover, laced with horns and highlife guitar lines.

‘Mumude’ is a fast paced, drum and percussion-heavy, folklore-based song from 1974. Originally released on Essiebons 7”.

Ethio Stars ft. Mulatu Astatke: Yekereme Fikir EP (2017)
http://www.piranha.de/piranha/ethio_stars_feat/yekereme_fikir

Pre-order: https://piranha.lnk.to/YekeremeFikirEP

The first of the three tracks that is released is the one that also gives its name to the EP: "Yekereme Fikir" - "Old Love". A veritable Roots Reggae tune, particularly relaxed, with luxuriously rich Amharic melodies and harmonies, it is one of Ethio Stars singer Getachew Kassa's most successful songs and signature tunes. After being given the Mulatu treatment during the "Addis 1988" sessions, the track now boasts some force to Getachew's indulgence in old acquaintances, stripping down the arrangement a little and giving it some extra edge. A vintage classic in a masterful additional rendition - win win.

Music in Exile is proud to present 'Yelena', the lead single from the debut self-titled LP from Ausecuma Beats. This album encapsulates the spirit of the band; each track showcases the different talents of each musician and sonically explores what is possible when we join together and celebrate our differences. Ausecuma Beats are more than just a band, they are a community, a family, a frame of mind. 

“Our role is to develop a new style of music. To learn how to share with each other. The other guys learn a lot from me, about Senegal, my culture. I learn a lot about them, about Mali, other West African states. We work to lift each other, to learn from each other through music.

We are friends and we are family. 

We represent our community, which is Melbourne, Australia. 

The band is made up of very different individuals. Each has a different mentality, a difference experience. Everyone has experience from their  journey before they came to Melbourne and to Ausecuma Beats.”	 - Boubacar Gaye, Ausecuma Beats 

The lead single, Yelena, tells of the beauty and widespread admiration for a woman from the Pulla tribe in Africa. Although it is typical for women of this tribe to be married quite young,  the song speaks of how this woman turns away marriage proposals as she believes she should experience more of her own life first. 

Ausecuma Beats 'Ausecuma Beats' LP out Friday, November 20, 2020.
