KTUH: The Cookbook: Recipes of Sound 3/22/11 K. Frimpong and His Cubano Fiestas

K. Frimpong and His Cubano Fiestas *self-titled* (Ofo Bros/Secret Stash) 1977

- The great second album from Ghana's K. Frimpong – backed by the group Vis-A-Vis (though billed in the title as his Cubano Fiestas) – a stunning blend of Ghanian Highlife music and rawer Afro Funk & soul! A few K. Frimpong numbers appeared on some of our favorite African compilations of the late 90s & 00s – but this original album from 1977 has remained rare. K. Frimpong sings and he's backed up by the fairly large Vis-A-Vis players, but they deliver a pretty tight groove – drums, congas and other percussion, trumpet and sax, some really soulful electric guitar, some piano, and occasional waves of spacey synth. Amazing stuff! Includes "Hwehwe Mu Na Yi Wo Mpena", "Asaase Yi So", "Awisa" and the side-long "Adama Nana (Medley)"- Dusty Groove
