  4. Aw man, sad to hear that Ebo Taylor died. A great innings, though (he was 90). I think along with Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, he's been my most listened to African artist for a good few years - such a catalogue. I rarely plug my own stuff at times like this, but if you want to hear him, he's all over the second half of this Golden Hour mix. Playing now in his honour. So long, and thanks, sir!

  5. "Brothers and sisters
    Lend me your ears
    Listen to my story, of love and death
    I fell deep in love, with Ama Fosua
    A girl of my dreams, you see what I mean
    On our wedding day
    With tears in her eyes
    She gave me a kiss

    It was the kiss of death
    Love and death, walk hand in hand
    The way to the grave, is just the same
    Love and death, walk hand in hand
    The way to the grave, is just the same"

    Ebo Taylor’s hypnotic track “Heaven” comprises modern jazz elements, and the song’s vocals borrow their format from a Ghanian nursery rhyme style, whereby children would repeat the final word of each sentence.

    Originally released in 1977, Ebo Taylorʼs self-titled album is a rarity that truly exposes the genius of the Ghanaian producer and arranger. [...]
