Digging 4 Gold

Note: if your not familiar with either Gyedu blay Ambolley or Ebo Taylor please resort back to some of the earlier posts I did on both of these pivotal artists. 

The Apagya Show band was formed by Ebo Taylor and Ambolley after they both left the seminal emsemble,  the Uhuru Dance Band, in the early 70s.  Each artist was interested in experimenting outside of the traditional Ghanainan highlife format.  It’s no wonder then, that after the project ended each went on to make ground-breaking funk-infused material.  

Apagya only produced a handful of singles for the Essiebons label before disbanding, but these singles definitely foreshowed the revolutionary sounds that were to come from two of Ghana’s funkiest musicians.
