K. FRIMPONG & VIS-A-VIS 's/t' LP (France, Hot Casa, Catalogue #HC66) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2020 Hot Casa label LP vinyl edition of ULTRA-RARE 1978 Highlife/Afrobeat album from Ghana by Ghanaian music legend K. Frimpong (& Vis-A-Vis.) With VG+ originals fetching over a thousand dollars piece (on the almost never in a lifetime chance that an original copy does come up for sale), this Hot Casa edition provides a much more affordable and appealing alternative.
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
A classic and essential hi-life and Afro-funk album from one of the greatest Ghanaian singer and composer, reissued for the first time. The legendary K. Frimpong's fantastic rare album was recorded in 1978 at Ghana Films Studio in Accra. K. Frimpong was born on July 22nd, 1939 at Ofoase in the Ashanti-Akim district and entered right into music after elementary school by joining Star de Republic and later Oko's Band after which he left to go to K. Gyasy's band where he worked for more than six years. As a prolific songwriter and singer, this Frimpong reissue is an amazing album, a modern fusion of hi-life and soul. The excellent background is given by the famous Vis à Vis band, composed with the help of the great Collins Obiba Marfo. Originally produced on Ofo Bros, the label of the Ofori brothers in Kumasi, this four songs recording is a blend of danceable and spiritual soul and straight hi-life. A must have album of percussive Afro-funk. Remastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery. Pressed on replika format.
