Cleo Sol "In Your Arms" - Flwr Chyld Flip

Virtuoso musician and producer, Kwame Yeboah,  often referred to as the oracle, is back with a new single, “Ahwenepa” The ultra-talented Kwame is extremely skilled, capable of moving between different worlds, while still maintaining his devoted roots in Ghanaian Highlife. “Ahwenepa” brings to the fore Kwame Yeboah’s talent as arranger, band leader and keyboard player with multiple band outfits who are an ensemble of young, inspired musicians namely, The Kwarmy Band, Kwashibu Area Band and the Three O’. The track opens with a glorious statement of rippling keyboards and fluttering flutes, before shifting through a melting pot of intense subtle groove that consistently hark to the undertones of Highlife music. A beguiling mix of intricate structured improvisations with blistering rhythmic intensity - his playing on this single veers from the lightning-paced freneticism of fusion-era stalwarts like Herbie Hancock to the slippery grooves of Lonnie Liston Smith. The fluidity of Ahwenepa is a perfect marriage of Highlife and Jazz in equal measure. This single embodies Kwame Yeboah’s creative spirit and the abundant talent that emerges from it. KWAME YEBOAH is an outstanding multi-instrumentalist, producer and inspirational music director who has worked with Ghana’s maestro Kojo Antwi and international greats such as Yusuf / Cat Stevens, Craig David, Stevie Wonder, Shaggy & many more.

KWAME YEBOAH - AHWENEPA

This track is an hommage to my favorite and in my opinion the best beatmaker the Netherlands has to offer.. The big homie MOODS! 

The moment i first heard a moods beat i had the feeling i had 2 options.. or stop making beats or step my game up by 10. 
And with every new track i hear of this dude i get that same feeling again.

Your a big inspiration bro..
Love! 

(And a special shout out to Sammy Spencer for the guitar parts!)
