Description
Beautiful guitar band highlife by King Onyina!
In “Menhu Dea Maye” the singer says that he is not aware of what he did wrong but all mortals have faults and humans can be inconsiderate, so he is calling god for support...
“Enne Ye Wo” is a song saying that in modern Ghana everyone must work diligently because one can life from only from own labour. In modern Ghana one cannot count on depending on another person, each one must drive to be self provident...

Sound clips(s) are from the record for sale in this auction. Clips were recorded in mono on a Thorens and a modified Denon DL 103 (with 65 µm stylus) using RIAA equalization (not FFRR as stated on the label, I do not have an multi eq phono pre at the moment, and I also did not want to edit = manipulate soundfiles, finally, the late FFRR curve is not so far away from RIAA). NO sound editing or filters, of course...
