Label: Jazz Is Dead Genre: Afro Beat Reviewed by: Len Comaratta
The swirling horns and gritty guitars are reminiscent of his seminal seventies recordings that made him one of Africa’s most prolific and revolutionary artists of all time. This album captures polyrhythmic percussion and twangy, fuzzed out guitars that prove that rhythm is key. The ensemble of Ghanian background vocalists emanates a uniquely spiritual sound that takes the listener back to Ebo’s prime.
Grab a lover (or two) and come on down to the Gator Pond this Saturday (2/15) to see Attack Dog, Velvet Colored Glasses, and Unmarked Pavement! Doors open at 8:00PM, music starts at 8:30PM, and the fun NEVER stops! $5 cover. Dm @wuvt on Instagram for the address!
