Description

Following 2010’s inaugural compilation, Analog Africa dig deeper to expand our Ghanaian funk collections: featuring an exciting range of well-known names (K Frimpong, Ebo Taylor, The African Brothers) and more obscure rarities, it’s an insightful schooling in the highlife sound and its deeply rooted funk and soul tendrils. Every track is a highlight, but stand-out jams come from De Frank’s Band (thanks to their attention to western rhythm detail), Los Issifu & His Moslems’ sedate organ meanders on “Kana Soro” and Complex Soundz’ sermon-like horn blaster “God Is Love”. Complete with a well compiled and research booklet that tells the full Ghanaian funk story, this is a fine addition to any collection.
