Anthony 'Reebop' Kwaku Bah

KEY FEATURES Solo album from the percussionist of TRAFFIC and CAN A boiling cauldron of polyrhythmic grooves and jazz improvisations with a strong early 70s prog touch Haunting Exotica jazz passages with “jungle” feel From naughty swing and bebop to freaked-out free jazz and enchanting soul jazz, spiced with a wide brass section For fans of Osibisa, Eric Burden & War, Ginger Baker Airforce, Santana, and Miles Davis Originally released in 1973 RELEASE DESCRIPTION This is the 1973 solo album by Ghanaian percussionist Anthony Kwaku Bah, who was given the nickname "Reebop“ by American jazz legend Dizzie Gillespie. He passed away early at the age of 39 in Stockholm in 1983, but before made himself a name for his works with UK 70s rock heroes TRAFFIC and German Krautrockers CAN, amongst others. If you might expect here the prototypical Afro Beat and Afro Rock you mostly know from British bands, you will be surprised that this is only one part of the deal. Yes, there are African element
