Ebo Taylor


"Also this story starts many years ago. In 1957 while Ghana was obtaining independence with Kwame Nkrumah and the highlife orchestras were close to the new government for celebrating the birth of a country and of a continent. Ebo Taylor was more or less twenty and participated to the cultural movement playing in orchestras like Stargazers and Broadway Dance Bank of Takoradi. In 1962 the family sent him to study music in London, where he met Fela Kuti with whom he played more than once in nightly improvised jam sessions."
