Ebo Taylor - Peace On Earth

Tuesday 19 April 2011, 15:51

We've been spreading the gospel about Ghanean singer/guitarist Ebo Taylor for years now. Some lucky ones were there at the 2009 show we produced for Ebo at La Bellevilloise. The others should definitively check all the upcoming live dates in June... Ebo Taylor released at the end of 2010 a new album, Love And Death, and his label Strut Records followed this release with a double anthology of Highlife & Afrobeat Classics, covering the years from 1973 to 1980, Life Stories, which you absolutely NEED to get/buy/download/hear/etc!!

Ebo Taylor - Life Stories
Highlife & Afrobeat Classics 1973-1980
(2xCD/2xLP/Digital) Strut Records Strut072CD/LP, 2011-04-11

Ebo Taylor Following his recent studio album with Afrobeat Academy, Love And Death, his first international release, Ghanaian highlife guitar legend Ebo Taylor teams up again with Strut for a long overdue definitive compilation of his seminal 1970s recordings, Life Stories, focusing on his solo albums and some of his lesser known side projects including the dynamite Apagya Show Band and short-lived Taylor-led combos Assase Ase, Super Sounds Namba and The Pelikans. The selection also touches on his writing and production work for C.K. Mann and a collaboration recording with fellow member of early '70s nightclub band Blue Monks, Pat Thomas. Tracks include the anthemic Heaven, sampled by Usher on his hit with Ludacris, She Don't Know, the original version of the poignant Love And Death and the rare 15-minute nugget, Aba Yaa. The package features rare photos, original album artwork and sleeve notes by Soundway Records' Miles Cleret.

Ebo Taylor Afrobeat Academy by JeanSaintJean

Festival Sons d'Hiver : Ebo Taylor & Afrobeat Academy - Photos by JeanSaintJean

Vendredi 4 février dernier, à la salle Jacques Brel à Fontenay Sous Bois, eu lieu un double concert des plus mémorables, avec pour commencer un fantastique hommage à Miles Davis dirigé par Graham Haynes (accompagné, entre autres, de Marco Benevento au claviers et DJ Logic aux platines)... suivi d'un show du guitariste Ghanéen Ebo Taylor (accompagné des funksters de l'Afrobeat Academy).

Notre envoyé spécial JeanSaintJean avait fait le déplacement et nous a ramené plus d'une centaine de Photos pour chacun des concerts. Une session de shooting dans des conditions pas forcément fantastiques (au premier rang, en contre plongée, dans le noir), dont nous avons essayé d'extraire la crème...
