Essiebons\" label, which was founded by Dick Esirfi Bondozie, aka \"Old Man X\", and became synonymous with modern highlife in Ghana from the 1970s to the 1980s. I never thought I'd see such a maniacal focus...! Hats off to them.\n\n\n\nThis project is a commemoration of Mr. Dix's 90th birthday, and although Mr. Dix unfortunately passed away before the project was completed, we have compiled his great achievements and released it with a full-color booklet. The compilation is a compilation of his great achievements, and is accompanied by a full-color booklet.The album also includes \"unreleased material\" that was recorded during the label's golden years in the mid-70s but for some reason was never released.\n\n\n\nThe psychedelic electric piano and tight rhythm of the funk instrumental tune \"Kofi Psych\" that opens the album makes you feel how great this album is, and it also includes many unreleased songs by Ernest Hony, the performer of this song, as well as deep funk that reminds you of bands around Voodoo Funk. The album also features a parade of killer numbers that can only be heard here, such as the funky highlife \"Africa\" by Sea Boy and the Niamey Bekele Band, a familiar name on previous Ghanaian funk compilations, and Joe Meara, probably for the first time ever on a reissue. A parade of killer numbers that you will only hear here. Of course, the songs by C.K. Mann and other heavy hitters are also excellent choices, and the groove is consistent throughout the album, so you can enjoy it all the way through.\n\n\n\nWhile there are many compilations that are valuable in terms of documentation but not so good as sound sources, this is one of the most comprehensive compilations in a long time.This is a piece that you should not hesitate to own, not only if you like highlife, Afrofunk, Afrobeat or Reagul, but also if you are interested in African music even a little bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Ernest Honny - Kofi Psych (Interlude 1)\u003cbr\u003e2.Joe Meah - Dee Mmaa Pe\u003cbr\u003e3.CK Mann \u0026amp; His Carousel 7 - Yeaba\u003cbr\u003e4.Santrofi-Ansa - Shakabula\u003cbr\u003e5.Seaboy \u0026amp; Nyame Bekyere - Tinitini\u003cbr\u003e6.Joe Meah - Ahwene Pa Nkasa\u003cbr\u003e7.Ernest Honny - Ernest Special (Interlude 2)\u003cbr\u003e8.Seaboy - Africa\u003cbr\u003e9.Nyame Bekyere - Medley (Broken Heart, Aunty Yaa, Omo Yaba (Nzema))\u003cbr\u003e10.Ernest Honny - Say The Truth (Interlude 3)\u003cbr\u003e11.Black Masters Band - Wonnim A Bisa\u003cbr\u003e12.Sawaaba Sound - Egye Tu Gbe\u003cbr\u003e13.CK Mann Big Band - Fa W’Akoma Ma Me\u003cbr\u003e14.Ernest Honny - Odo Mframa (Interlude 4)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analog Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49706224156961,"sku":"4260126061514","price":229.0,"currency_code":"MOP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4260126061514.jpg?v=1719687598","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mo\/products\/4260126061514","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
