78 tours Philips West African 82282 "Atamfo Nsa Akame" / "Mereko! o!" by the Black Beats.
This band was led by King Bruce. Early 1950’s, he hung around for awhile with top musicians like Adolf Doku, E.T. Mensah, Kofi Ghanaba (Guy Warren), Joe Kelly, and Papa Hughes. He occasionally played clips (claves) for Ghana's leading highlife dance-band, the Tempos. In 1952, he and tenor saxophonist Saka Acquaye formed the Black Beats band. The Black Beats vocalists (the Black Birds, Lewis Wadawa, and Frank Barnes) dominated the instrumental line-up; and in this they were influenced by the swing and "jump" music of Afro-American Louis Jordan. It was with this high vocal profile that the Black Beats began to release a string of highlife hits for the labels of the day, HWV, Senophone, Decca & rare Philips. Jerry Hansen and nine musicians left the band to form the Ramblers. Here are two great tunes writed by Oscarmore Ofori (thanks to John Collins for those informations). Lively dance music with great vocals, electric guitar and great sax & trumpet soli. Grade: Vg+ (many marks and scrs but rather superficial, sounds great despite some light surface noise) Label: Vg+ (tiny damage at center + initials)
