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.

K. Frimpong & His Cubano Fiestas - Kyenkyen Bi Adi M'awu

Ghanian musician K. Frimpong. In the 1970s, he recorded with two different bands; ‘Vis-A-Vis’ and ‘Cubano Fiestas’.

Kyenkyen Bi Adi M'awu fuses heavy afrobeat drums and horns with a highlife guitar line and is his most well known track. Taken from the legendary ‘K. Frimpong & His Cubano Fiestas’ LP released in 1977 on Continental Records out of Ghana. 

Licensed from Ofo brothers, a Ghanian independent. As sampled by Gnarls Barkley on his ‘Storm Coming’ track.

Ebo Taylor - Heaven

We have released two Ebo Taylor albums on Mr Bongo and thought it was time to get the almighty classic ‘Heaven’ out on a 7”.

Taken from Ebo’s self titled LP released on Esibons in 1977, original copies of which regularly fetches upwards of $500.

Ebo still tours extensively with his incredible band; their performances come very highly recommended.
