• A landmark recording from one of Ghanas great musical architects, Ebo Taylors 1977 self-title release marked the first solo LP by the legendary guitarist, arranger, and composer after years behind the scenes shaping the sound of modern highlife. Emerging during a pivotal era in Ghanas cultural and political life, the album finds Taylor fusing his roots in Fante traditional rhythms with the electric groove of American funk, soul, and jazz – a sound honed during his time studying in London and comparing notes with the likes of Fela Kuti and members of Osibisa. Recorded for the Essiebons label, Ebo Taylor brims with richly layered horns, deep Afrobeat-inspired grooves, and a melodic sophistication that speaks to Taylors gift as both bandleader and storyteller.
