Plasnes I've written a whole blog post that I still need to put up about this album. To put it short, its one of the best albums in my collection and it deserves so much more attention. Favorite track: Aboagyewaa.

Family Feet June 2023 - I have this from the Ghana Soundz comp but there’s a reason. Really good. Favorite track: Aboagyewaa.

VAST DEFERENS Amazing funk vibe with nicely defined bass work for a vintage Ghana LP that slaps with bars of indecipherable (to me) melody. You may want this on vinyl, just sayin'. Favorite track: Aboagyewaa.

about

A classic and essential Hi - Life & Afro Funk album from one of the greatest Ghanaian singer and composer, reissued for the First time !
The legendary K Fimpong's fantastic rare album was recorded in 1978 at Ghana Films Studio in Accra .
K . Frimpong was born on July 22nd , 1939 at Ofoase in the Ashanti - Akim district and entered right into music after elementary school by joining " Star de Republic" and later «Oko's band» after which he left to K. Gyasy's band where he worked for more than 6 years. As a prolific songwriter and singer , here's the reissue of his amazing album , a modern fusion of Hi- life and Soul .The excellent background is given by the famous Vis à Vis band, composed with the help of the great Collins Obiba Marfo.
Originally produced on “Ofo Bros” the label of the Ofori brothers in Kumasi, this four songs recording is a blend of dancable and spiritual Soul and straight Hi life . A must have vinyl of percussive Afro Funk for all the music connoisseurs, “K. Frimpong backed by Vis à Vis “ LP is a true masterpiece, so hard to find and reaching crazy skills for a decent copy affordable.
Remastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery . Pressed on Replika format.

Raw energy, pure inspiration filtered through the west African mojo. Incredible musicians jamming on a cool riff and having a complete conversation through riffs and stabs. What isn’t there to love! Reminds me of the feel of a late 60’s /early 70’s psych cumbia mix from S. America that a similar company compiled and released; folks who appreciates the lost recordings of time, place and inspiration through the lenses of their vibes. gibkel1
