Boomp3.com
From Mensee da, a track from Ese wani Highlife - an album intended as a follow up to the seminal Sikyi Highlife. Both albums feature Dr K Gyasi's Noble Kings at their glorious best playing Sikyi, a form of highlife they invented. This bit showcases the incredibly deft playing of Eric Agyeman on lead guitar. The song structure is essentially "call and response" with the Eric Agyeman and Thomas Frempong (lead vocals)taking turns. Percussionist Candido (not the Cuban!)gets to shine here as well.
