Description
Vital and infections West-African groove music from a cult hero of the Ghanaian 1970's musical explosion, Alhaji K. Frimpong. Originally released in 1977 and fetching hundreds of dollars for those privileged enough to own a copy, Secret Stash Records have been kind enough the reissue this masterpiece of Afro-Cuban-Funk fusion from one of the leaders of Ghana's multi-faceted style. "Kyenkyen Bi Adi M'Awu" is the indisputable highlight here, a haunting afrobeat groove with moody latin-jazz influences and shattering percussion, punctuated with the perfect vocal delivery of Krimpong and his Cubano Fiestas. An optimal example of Ghana's unique response to the influx of disparate international influences, K. Frimpong's genius lives up to the über-obscure West-African reissue hysteria generously making the rounds of late. An essential reissue.
