Ebo Taylor is one of Ghana’s finest producer/arrangers. Taylor was heavily
influential in the unique sound that emerged from the country in the 70ʼs; a
combination of traditional Ghanaian with Afro-beat, jazz, and funk rhythms.
He worked with bands including Stargazers Band, Broadway Dance Band, Black
Star Highlife Band (with Teddy Osei and Sol Amarfio who later joined Osibisa),
Apagya Show Band and fellow musicians C.K. Mann, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and
the legendary Pat Thomas.
2016 seeʼs Ebo celebrate his 80th birthday - still touring! - and we are very proud to
release two of his stand-out, classic albums – MY LOVE AND MUSIC and TWER
NYAME, following on from the EBO TAYLOR and CONFLICT re-issues.
MY LOVE AND MUSIC was originally released in 1975 on Gapophone Records,
George Prahʼs label, hailing from Ghana. Only available in very limited quantity
(reportedly 500 copies) due to the musical vacuum imposed by the military
dictatorship in the country at the time.
Laid back, lush, highlife vibrations from start to finish, with noticeable reggae
influences throughout.
