Bola Volume 7 Coming April 2/3 Worldwide
Listen to the track "Abayetidu Ma" from the forthcoming Awesome Tapes From Africa release by Bola. He is a singer and instrumentalist from Bolgatanga, Ghana who has been putting out tape after tape of ridiculously energetic and thoughtful songs for the last few years. I almost died when I heard this Volume 7 tape for the first time. Bola's intense Frafra-language vocals, along with his shredding kologo—a two-stringed lute—boosted by bass-heavy, angular keyboard melodies and dance floor-ready drums. I am fascinated by Bola's take on a traditional instrument and musical style. Look out for this release in early April on LP/CD/MP3/limited edition cassette.

this is my most beloved blog. i frequently hear and download the music.
i wonder how does the artists from africa feel about the reality of people all over the world listening, loving, and downloading their music, but not paying. i ask off course with all respect and love.

yes Brian... just came back from Ghana with a video CD of Bola's music. 8 killer tracks, and each one a music video too!!!
By far one of the most intesting and soulful albums I've heard this year. Hearing it in sunny Glasgow, Scotland this album blew me away man! Fantastic
