It is the same album, but track 4 has a different title, some of the tracks are in a different order, and they are all listed as being on 1 disk, and it is $ 5.99 USD instead of $ 6.97 USD. So, save yourself 98 cents: http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/album/soundway-various-artists/ghana-special-modern-highlife-afro-sounds-ghanaian-blues-1968-81/12873054/
What a great compilation of music I used to hear growing up in Ghana in the 70's and you've included my all-time fave; "Kyenkyen Bi Adi Mawu". Fantastico!
Not my favorite collection of the Soundway African music series, but nevertheless a (afro)funk essential. I dig the Nigerian collections a bit more, but you gotta vary your perspective of African soul/funk. Ghana had a great scene as well as this collection testifies.
How they managed to compile yet another brilliant comp that almost bests the Nigeria Special series (I still think Vol. 2 of that series is the best) is beyond me. It loses a bit of steam toward the end where the songs all inhabit a more traditional sound, but the beginning is incredible. Give special attention to "Twer Nyame" by Ebo Taylor, my undisputed favorite on the comp and an extraordinary song.
I'm only about 2/3 of the way through this, but I've yet to hear a bad track. Perhaps the best comp Soundway has put out!
Yes, they are the tracks on "disc two." You can check the correct 2-disc track listing on the Soundway site here: http://www.soundwayrecords.com/catalogue/ghana-special.html
Are these the two tracks on disc two?
Great selection great sounds somebody has done a great job in puting these together. Congratulatiuons. I have not decided my favourite as yet, perhaps it does not matter as there is so much to choose from.I worked with Boombaya - who were electric but there is not a lot left of their legacy. Dont let the few duff one's put you off. Enjoy
