Ebo Taylor, Uhuru Yenzu, Pat Thomas

Mukatsuku presents the second volume of killer Ghanaian highlife/afrofunk monsters this time focusing on two artists legendary in the genre. First up first time on a 45 from 1980 is ''What Is Life'' from the Ebo Taylor & Uhuru Yenzu album ''Conflict Nkru!''. Amazing brass, flute and afrocentric rhythms lay the path for the track once heard never forgotten. On the flip first time ever on a 45 Pat Thomas who features on volume 1 of the series comes correct with possibly the best version (and there are a few ) of ''Gyae Su''. With its jangly African guitar licks and infectious chorus lines the feel good factor is set to maximum. Another dope afro burner.
