Den ghanesiske simigwa-stjerne Gyedu-Blay Ambolley er tilbage med nyt album og det højenergiske Sekondi Band. Med et dansabelt mix af highlife, rap og funk tænder de op under dansefesten på ALICE til februar.
Saxofonisten og sangeren Gyedu-Blay Ambolley vækkede allerede seriøs opsigt tilbage i 1973, da han i sin hjemby Sekondi-Takoradi i det vestlige Ghana introducerede et helt nyt musikalsk kapitel. I en krydsning mellem groovy highlife, rap, jazz, soul og rastløs funk, skabte Ambolley den såkaldte simigwa-do-lyd. Genren, der siden har fået mange kroppe ud på dansegulvet, har ikke alene givet ham titlen “the Simigwahene” (kongen af simigwa), men også skrevet ham ind i musikhistorien som den første der eksperimenterede med rap-elementer på sine albumindspilninger. Ambolleys tekstunivers forholder sig ofte til Ghanas historie og politiske situation, og gør ham til en vigtig stemme i kritikken af emner som ulighed, korruption og neo-kolonialisme.
Siden sin debut for mere end 4 årtier siden, har den musikalsk ustoppelige sanger, sangskriver, bandleder, multi-instrumentalist og producer samarbejdet med ikoner som Sammy Lartey og Ebo Taylor og indspillet over 30 albums, hvoraf “The Message”, “Akoka Ba”, “Simigwa Soca" og “Burkina Faso” blev genudgivet på 12” vinyl på Analog Africa i år.
Det nyeste udspil,“KETAN” (Agogo Records, 2017), er et højenergisk album indspillet med det 8 mand store Sekondi Band, der tæller nogle af tidens mest vitale ghanesiske musikere. Forvent en seriøs dansefest når han gæster ALICE og spiller første danske koncert nogensinde med sit Sekondi Band.
