Continental Records

The second of two self-titles albums released during Ghana's music explosion of the 1970's, K. Frimpong & His Cubano Fiestas is a celebratory and powerful follow up to the album that made them famous. Backed by the mighty Vis A Vis band (here renamed the "Cubano Fiestas") Alhaji K. Frimpong and company create a sinous, infectious, funky sound that once heard can't be forgotten. This fusion of James Brown and Fela inspired rhythms with more traditional Ghanaian Highlife, depsite having been created nearly 35 years ago, still sounds stunningly fresh today. K.Frimpong songs have been licensed for compilations on Soundway, Strut and Analog Africa / limited edition vinyl comes with free-mp3-download-coupon!
