Ghanaian highlife legend Pat Thomas, fondly known as “The Golden Voice Of Africa”, Ghanaians producers Kwame Yeboah and Ben Abarbanel-Wolff, collectively known as Kwashibu Area Band, have announced Obiaa!.
The album is a follow-up to their self-titled project released in 2015 which included luminaries such as the great Ebo Taylor, the Ghanaian guitarist, composer, bandleader, producer and arranger, as well Afrobeat drum master and composer Tony Allen.
The title to the album can be translated loosely as "Everybody". The album was recorded at the Lovelite Studio in Berlin.
It is safe to say that this sophomore highlife project is intended to take Ghana's indigenous sound to new creative directions and further solidifying the 72 year old Pat Thomas's place in the pantheon of African musical geniuses.
The album drops on the 4th of October on all digital platforms.
