World (Highlife)
In the heavily packed night-club at Boake in the Ivory Coast - "Cote de' Ivoire" Nana Kwame Ampadu I and his African Brothers Band International of Ghana were playing to the audience of local musicians and Radio & Television personnel. A young girl in her mid twenties emerged from the thick crowd and walked straight to Nana Ampadu I and "Planted" CFA 1000 - One Thousand CFA on Nana´s forehead. "Have my Love". The young girl whispered in Nana´s ears........ The first track - Side 1 of the Album - AGATHA, tells the story of what transpired beteween Nana and the young girl "AGATHA" after the dance. The track is full of Love. Love works in a wonderfuil sort of way. MENYE OSANANL This track is dedicated to all those who are sojurned outside their home-towns. It´s dedicated to Ghanaians living abroad, especially in Ivory Coast, Nigeria, U.S.A. and Great Britain, seeking for fortunes to their homes. May thier ancestors guide them to aquire qhat they are looking for. Side 2 AKWANTIFI WUO (Mother) is written for Kwabena Oqusu Aduemire (Lapour) whose tragic acciden caused the death of his dear wife - ADjoa Foriwa (Mother). Kwabena, we wish to console with you the track Mother. take it cool. God will give you another love. MOMFA NTO MESO. This track is written throw light to some of intricate cases which normally send innocent people into goals. It´s a story carefully arranged to suit the contemporary musical pattern. In short, this beautifully performed and superbly recorder album is a fitting musical excellence from Ghana´s Longest-lived group. It´s therefore not surprising that Nana Ampadu is the most brilliant musicain and wonderful lyricist who works in a standard and modern format using traditional rhythms and innovations to give the best to his large audience. Nana Ampadu is always together with his people. The people with African Feeling. Thank God you´ve had this beautiful Album.
