EK Nyame's Sankofa

After last months classic, now a track by one of the most important innovators of Highlife, EK Nyame. Always with his lead singer Kobina Okai, he developed a unique style that was very successful and influential. Listen to the typical Ghanaian way of singing harmony, three voices not blending together but each going his own way.
A small warning: this is really an acquired taste and no easy listening!

This is great! Love the clarinet! Sounds an awful lot like some of the tunes on the "Guitar & Gun" compilation.
