This is authentic Ghana highlife music. Obi agye Med)fo means “someone has snatched my love from me”, my love come back because it’s making me a drunkard, it’s ended my joy and so missing you love.
+daniel - i think i was in fact almost 20 when i bought my first african record* by chance on a flea market here in germany - it took me a while to begin to understand the music, but since then (mid 70s) i love african music and saw many bands live and - yesss - it keeps being amazing... :-) cheers from germany * "africa - ceremonial & folk music" - you can find it here on youtube on the traditional music channel, which i highly recommend...
It's criminal, how much musical talent Africa has, and yet most people remain ignorant of its many delights. Not me, I'm devouring this stuff for a few hours every night and absolutely loving it. Thank you, Africa, and keep the good vibes coming. x
Highlife ! Higher and higher ! Ghana is one of the most powerful countries in Africa, strong culture, music very creative, be proud brothers, your country is an example to Follow for all of us in Africa, thanks from Senegal !
+Sylvester Atitson good music is good music, don't matter who you are, I'm in the murica, I love the alexandrov ensemble, I love hip hop, I love old R&B, soul, blues. funk, and this right here, I love no less.
zestb114 peace be with you too. was looking for African punk from the 80s and stumbled upon this. The greatest thing i dug up today. do you know of any early 80s African punk by any chance?? peace.
Picked up the Ghana Special collection at a used record store about 10 years ago and found this gem on there. Definitely worth picking up if you haven't already
Honestly, it's designed that way. Imagine the national front, skinheads, klan members and various factions of extreme hate groups realizing we come from the same land, the motherland, Africa.
Thanks to the good works of Mr Babatunde Olatunji, many Bostonians have been digging African music since the 1960's. Mr. Olatunji's Drums of Passion album (1959) and work at the now defunct Elma Lewis School of the arts. Then, there was Somerville's Art of Black Dance and Music that took up the slack from the Senegalese perspective. Living in Boston, we were exposed to concerts in the parks and dance companies from Senegal, Mali, etc. and music from the diaspora broadcasted and performed live at various venues. Also, hat's off and special thanks to De Ama Battle for her contributions over the past 40 plus years.
Boss tune, cold bass! It's heavy.... Imagine, sitting in a little hole in the wall, this band is playing this song live, you're sitting at a table with a neat little Scotch, got some Cheeba from Belize neatly wrapped. As you spark up, you feel the bass permeating throughout your very soul so you close your eyes, give in and get carried away. Where? Who cares!
The best along with: Mulatu Astatke - Yegelle Tezeta Alhaji K.Frimpong - KyenKyen Bi Adi Mawu Ebo Taylor - Come Along Moussa Doumbia - Femme d'Ajourd'hui Le Sahel - Khandiou
It's absolutely rejuvenating. A marvellously beautiful alchemical marriage of pace and sounds. Simply mind blowing 😇!! Basically the singer says that his beloved has been seduced and taken from him, and goes on to list and lament his woes and the difficulties and challenges brought on by his lose..! It's a marvellously beautiful song 😊!
That explains why this song sounds like a reference to "Alhaji K Frimpong - Kyenkyen Bi Adi Mawu". The only lyric I understand is the English part "because of money, someone has taken my baby from my hand".
How wonderful, am very delighted they play this quality music.do we still have this talent in mama africa or we have exported it again like the the est of everything 🎶❤✔✨
I just wish I could play this jam at one of my gigs but I'm doubtful that the folks will appreciate it like I do. I DJ at a bar each Tuesday night and nobody asks for rad stuff like this. DJ's lament, So Cal, 2019
I'm curious to know how this all turned out. Did Josh take the Lioness' advice, go out on a limb and play the track? Or did Pamela finally take a Tues off to go “turn it up ” for Josh?! Things that make you go hmmmmm.......
I’m from Detroit don’t hear the often where I come from but music like this touch my soul may god bless the musicians that continue to make good music like this
Pazienza se nessuno capisce ciò che dico. La cosa che adoro della musica africana è la non necessità di partiture, l'immediatezza, la naturalità, l'immediatezza del suono. Non è intrattenimento, è anima. Cosa che "noi moderni occidentali istruiti non abbiamo da millenni". I riti tribali orgiastici sono l'essenza della conoscenza attraverso canali che ad oggi sono delinquere. Non va proprio bene.
Been listening to Ebo since I found him on here, so about 13 or 14, and I can honestly say the amount of joy his music and others from the area bring my soul is immense. Thank you to all the beautiful musicians and minds that went into the core of the African sound, still makes me cry with joy.
There is not only between God and his forgiveness; the priest (father) receives confession from repentant and he intercedes with God for his forgiveness to you. For music, between you and her, there is no intercessor, no... She go by the direct and impenetrable voice… It is the one that leads directly to the soul... Without intercession!
This is one of the greatest tracks ever written..Its perfect..pure genius. if Beethoven were alive, he would have sampled this masterpiece and turned it into a pop song. Perfect.
+james - you have a weird fantasy, haha... but in the end you´re right: beethoven was quite famous for his wicked art of sampling... :-) the other day i saw a sheet of paper hanging there on a wall saying: "don´t believe everything that is written in the internet just because there stands a famous name underneath. abraham lincoln" cheers... .-)
Hahaha 🤣 😂! How so true. @ James Fitzsimmons I quite agree. Beethoven may certainly have been blown away by this incredibly modern sound. It is pure genius.
@@whatabouttheearth That's just what I'd meant buddy! But to leave anyway in no a doubt as to my meaning I'll make the correction right away 😂! Thanks for pointing that out.
No solo hay pecado entre Dios y su perdón; el sacerdote recibe la confesión del arrepentido e intercede ante Dios por su perdón. Para la música, entre tú y ella, sin intercesor no... Ella imprime la voz directa, también impenetrable. Es el que conduce directamente al alma... ¡Sin intercesión!
What happened to African music? The oldies from Ghana and Nigeria were far better soundwise and harmonious than the shit we hear these days. Just listen to good music.
Mos Def live performance brought me here. Thanks to Mighty Mos I've discovered a new genre to explore. Feels like home ✊🏾 Please give me recommendations.
All I could say when it started was OH Damn... Amazing band. You can't help but dance wherever you are. MUCH LOVE. great band, great band leader, great legacy R.I.P.Alhaji K. Frimpong.
wow.. who knew this would have been known the world all-over!! ...I actually saw vis-a-vis live in concert,..waaaaay back in the days!! Thanks for posting!
Perfect interlude when trapped anywhere in West Africa with an empty "cartridge" as the lady asked for more passionate loving. Just allow this song to play long enough for you to call up your extra reserves ( like some more Guinness Extra Stout, another plate of fish pepper soup, and a few puffs from a wicked joint)? You should be good to go for another one hour afterwards 😜☺️
Respect Ghana 🇬🇭☝️😎. Ghana creates but never credited. Their big brother 🇳🇬 steals all the accolades 😒 Watch some Nigerians come talking about Fela thereby making my exact point. 😆 . This music existed before Fela coined a name for it. He took this sound 🔊 added jazz, Yoruba drums and called is Afrobeat.
Styuvant my darling ur so right i have made that comment all over tube that GHANA started this so called afro beat aka hi life fela heard took it added sum juju music to it and is now known as the father of afro beat but he is NOT. Naja is good at capitulating their artist ang Ghana well are small thinkers and happy when american or ghana burga invites them to perform in the park,auditorium, or event hall
This is authentic Ghana highlife music. Obi agye Med)fo means “someone has snatched my love from me”, my love come back because it’s making me a drunkard, it’s ended my joy and so missing you love.
This is music that takes 20 years of life to find

Better late than never

Thought I was a Cow boy until I heard this from my Country 🇬🇭…..Mernnnn I’m a highlifer❤️ PROUDLY MADE IN GHANA.
you be dey dull yourself since, welcome back brother 😅😅😂
It's criminal, how much musical talent Africa has, and yet most people remain ignorant of its many delights. Not me, I'm devouring this stuff for a few hours every night and absolutely loving it. Thank you, Africa, and keep the good vibes coming. x
And there's so much variation. And then the fusion stuff when globalisation happened. Whuuu dude.
Talent is universal but opportunities not.
Totally agree
In Colombia we love it and we live it in our champeta.
because it is part of us and our ancestors.
Also Africa is like what? 50 countries? (edit: 54) and very different cultures, all amazing
Highlife ! Higher and higher ! Ghana is one of the most powerful countries in Africa, strong culture, music very creative, be proud brothers, your country is an example to Follow for all of us in Africa, thanks from Senegal !
No doubt
I love ppl from Ghana 🇬🇭 ♥️🙏
I had to privilege of growing up w some girls from there.
My heart is near my African brothers. With fantastic love from Romania! This warms my heart
Same from Ireland living in the UK.
This is the music they play in heaven. So damn good!
Music like this literally warms my heart, this is one of the many reasons why i am proud to call myself a Ghanaian❤️ 🇬🇭
Please don't call Ghana the Gold Coast. You might as well say you are proud of slavery and happy to have been exploited by the west !!!
That's what's up!!!!
I love Ghana the most peaceful country in Africa with very friendly ppl
I think I just found myself in the greatest part of youtube ever.
Sylvester Atitson Uh what? Yea I can tell it's from Ghana, well because it's says "Ghana special" in the video
Sylvester Atitson I will :), thank you
+Marc Era Same here man !
+Sylvester Atitson good music is good music, don't matter who you are, I'm in the murica, I love the alexandrov ensemble, I love hip hop, I love old R&B, soul, blues. funk, and this right here, I love no less.

Peace and greetings to all my diggers out there.

I know right, so beautiful.

Cafe Bustelo you mean funk ?
Peace
Thank God I stumbled upon this before I died. Gotta love RUclips...it's like a treasure hunt.
Hahaha!
Definitely...
Picked up the Ghana Special collection at a used record store about 10 years ago and found this gem on there. Definitely worth picking up if you haven't already
ahahahayou are still alive???? greetings from comminges...
Gutted that it’s taken 49 years of my life to find this."...so much brilliant music that no ones ever heard from the African continent
Not “no one”. Millions of Africans have heard this music.
Honestly, it's designed that way. Imagine the national front, skinheads, klan members and various factions of extreme hate groups realizing we come from the same land, the motherland, Africa.
Another African gem! Brings hapiness to my soul!

We are pure magic... Love from Kenya
If you love this, then you better turn to Bango Music by Ngala, then in 70’s. It’s got almost similar béats
Yes we are sis!
Indeed. This is easily soundtrack
or documentary of life music.
I am happy we are here!
What if I told you this music cured my depression?
instant happyness
what if i told you it cured mine as well ?
It's absolutely rejuvenating. A marvellously beautiful alchemical marriage of pace and sounds. Simply mind blowing 😇!!
Just the fact that this never will come back is depressing me!! 🙁
I'd believe you. Hope you are still doing well ;)

In love with Ghana and its great people!!
The roots of Latin American music.
Struck a chord in my heart, real music!!! 🇬🇭 Much love 🇬🇭
God bless Analog Africa, Soundway, Soul Jazz Records and Strut for re-issuing all these true authentic West African gems!

You should check out the label AnalogAfrica, it is totally and utterly stunning (analogafrica.bandcamp.com/) :)
Thanks mate.
Ghana is heaven ♥...and Azonto music and dance especially ♫♪ No one can be sad with Azonto
no words for this song!! Ghana spirit!!
Que genialidad ¡Que nunca muera la música de Ghana!
my good taste in music brought me here
well done
Oh my gosh the beat is so damn good oldschool baby 😍😍😍😗😗😗
Um Salve diretamente do Brasil , para todos irmãos africanos.
It's absolutely rejuvenating. A marvellously beautiful alchemical marriage of pace and sounds. Simply mind blowing 😇!!
Basically the singer says that his beloved has been seduced and taken from him, and goes on to list and lament his woes and the difficulties and challenges brought on by his lose..!
It's a
marvellously beautiful song 😊!
Thank you great 👍
Here we are in front of a revolution. A wonderful planet of rythm and jamming. Sorry. English is not the right language to talk about this miracle....
I dont thing any language has developed an adjective to describe how awesome this is
Have no words to describe this masterpiece
"Obi Agye Me Dofo" means someone has taken my love one from me.
SuperBatuna do you have the lyrics ive been looking !!
SuperBatuna tahnk you for trnaslating that
SuperBatuna actually it means "someone has taken my love one from me"
That explains why this song sounds like a reference to "Alhaji K Frimpong - Kyenkyen Bi Adi Mawu". The only lyric I understand is the English part "because of money, someone has taken my baby from my hand".
@@Pureflow7 actually thats exactly what SuperBatuna said
Which ever rapper samples this is instantly my favourite
So, you love Mos Def/Yasin Bey
Mos Def!! Check out his V1 show in Russia. Magic!!!
ruclips.net/video/rvdpEkbR2mQ/видео.html
Music that makes you shiver and makes you want to go to Ghana, Timeless !!
Damn once the rhythm gets going - this is great! It’s got a Spanish flair.
How wonderful, am very delighted they play this quality music.do we still have this talent in mama africa or we have exported it again like the the est of everything 🎶❤✔✨
¡¡¡¡¡Qué buena música!!!!! Wow!!! Now I'm dancing!!
Banging this and Fela on a hot evening driving with the top down. Soon as I get a convertible lol. For now the sunroof will have to do.
I like it . I’m from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I love it and i get the overwhelming urge to compliment this music with a smooth hit of some good OG kush . To bad i cant for now but will soon !!
I just wish I could play this jam at one of my gigs but I'm doubtful that the folks will appreciate it like I do. I DJ at a bar each Tuesday night and nobody asks for rad stuff like this. DJ's lament, So Cal, 2019
educate them
Try it anyway. You never know. Great music can attract anyone
You're at the wrong club!! I'm from SoCal too which bar do you DJ at and I'll come turn it out.
Fuck em, play it anyway
I'm curious to know how this all turned out. Did Josh take the Lioness' advice, go out on a limb and play the track? Or did Pamela finally take a Tues off to go “turn it up ” for Josh?!
Things that make you go hmmmmm.......
I’m from Detroit don’t hear the often where I come from but music like this touch my soul may god bless the musicians that continue to make good music like this
this song doesnt get old at all, it still moves me around,i am really enjoying it too nice and feel like it will never die
This is the original Ghana highlife
Recently been obsessed with ghana 🇬🇭
Love from Ghana🇬🇭
Just found this on the radio, this song is dope AF. Me n my sister loves it ❤️
Took me 36 years to finally come across this kind of music!!
I Get this!
Goosebumps up and down legs and arms.
Probably the hottest tune on this planet.
No kidding
