OLUKO IMO feat FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI - Were Oju Le

One of my all-time favorite jams that has ever surfaced on the Awesome Tapes From Africa blog. The story behind Penny Penny is equally awesome. Read about it here:

Brian Shimkovitz (aka ATFA) and Penny Penny are re-releasing this album on the new ATFA label. It's a really cool project:

MULTI CULTI 039 - BLAY AMBOLLEY - SIMI RAPP

Multi Culti is honoured to reissue this 1996 classic by Ghanian highlife legend Gyedu Blay Ambolley, adding amazing remixes by Red Axes and Johnny Aux, as well as an in-house edit by Dreems & Thomas Von Party.

A major force in Afro-funk since the early 1970s, Gyedu Blay Ambolley is considered the godfather of hiplife, transforming the highlife genre by adding elements of hip-hop, funk and jazz. The opportunity to reissue the amazing and influential “Simi Rapp” is one of the clear high points of the label’s trajectory thus far. 

The reissue package is bolstered by an ecstatic rework by Israeli gurus Red Axes, an early-morning anthem from master remixer Johnny Aux, and a laid-back house edit from Multi Culti Executive Shamans Dreems and Thomas Von Party. 

Multi Culti: voyaging through time, space and licensing agreements to bring you the best music the world has to offer.

Soundway presents the first in a new series of 12” releases aimed at making available hard-to-find and in-demand dancefloor tracks on loud DJ-friendly pressings.
These two late 1980s Ghanaian highlife cuts are taken from the catalogue of Nakasi Records. Nakasi was run by the late producer Nana Asiedu (Big Joe) - a well-known figure in the Ghanaian and African music community of 1980s London. 

The A-side showcases a track from Jon K's second solo album, which was a re-working of a traditional Fanti language Asafo company song Asafo Beesuon. Made famous by C.K.Mann on his seminal album ‘Funky Highlife’, this version very much reflects the more westernised late 1980s sound of highlife music recorded in the UK, Holland, Canada and Germany for both ex-pat Ghanaian audiences and those back home in West Africa. 

The album features the stalwart session musician Alfred Bannerman, the go-to Ghanaian guitarist known for the classic cut of ‘Let Me Love You’ by Bunny Mack, among many other tracks over the last 40 years, including his work on contemporary releases for Soundway such as Konkoma and Ibibio Sound Machine.

On the B-side, Pat Thomas (the brother in-law of Big Joe) needs little introduction having been touring the world extensively in recent years with the Kwashibu Area Band. Somehow this dancefloor-heavy cut has eluded recent compilations and reissues. With horns arranged by long time friend and collaborator Ebo Taylor, it's an instantly recognisable sound that also features Rex Gyamfi - himself a well-known purveyor of 1980s 'burger-highlife'.
