Roots Anabo on Stage

Roots Anabo - Civilization

 Finally able to pay more attention to this here Afrobeat Standard. Presenting a cassette rip of Roots Anabo's seminal 1987 album - Civilisation. Led by Mawuli Nukpese Roots Anabo called its fusion of Ghanaian and Roots Reggae Sunlife Music. Mawuli's Flute work on Atenteben Dub is incredibly soulful. Players on this album include Ekow "Savage" Alabi who has subsequently recorded similar reggae albums on drums; Oghene Kologbo who used to play with fela; Bob Fiscian Ghana's foremost keyboardsman. They also get an assist from Ibo cooper of Third World. Apostolic Jazz and Hedzole are reminiscent of Early period Third World.
Roots Anabo went on to play Reggae Sunsplash reportedly to high acclaim but sadly broke up pretty much after this their sole album.
