Levels of interest in this outstanding era of West African music are higher than ever following the exceptional work of labels such as Soundway, Analog Africa, Strut, Honest Jon's and Otrabanda. This excellent compilation provides further proof of the sheer depth of quality of music coming out of post-independence Ghana. Twelve funky tracks from ‘70s Ghana—most of them either previously unreleased or extremely rare—from the archives of Essiebons Music and John Collins' Bokoor Studio.
