Kobo Town - Mr. Monday

From the self-titled album 'Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band,' out June 15th on Strut.

From the album liner notes:
‘Gyae Su’ is a rearrangement of an older song, with a guitar concept typical of the classic Kwa or Kumasi bands and an overall tropical style. Ebo Taylor’s horn arrangements evoke the classic Afro-funk vibe that he originally made famous. The lyrics are as catchy as they are plaintive, with Thomas comforting the listener, “Don’t cry! Life has its ups and downs. Just take it easy and don’t shed any tears.”

From the album liner notes:
An “Africo” crossover style typical of early 1970s Accra in the style of Osibisa and Alhaji K Frimpong. It's one of the most funky tracks on the album and features some superb harmonic and melodic touches. Thomas's lyrics are defiant: “This is my life, my turn. You can talk about all my problems and dance in my misery. But it's not going to be like that forever. You can talk all you want but things will always get better for me.”

The track features a yearning trumpet solo from another Ghanaian legend, Osei Tutu. Osei was a member of Hedzolleh Sounds and also played alongside Ebo and Pat in the Sweet Beans.

A tune by one of the many Nigerian Police bands who recorded Highlife tunes in their spare time. Many learned to play under Benedict Odiase, the composer of Nigeria's national anthem.
