Sun, 2 May 2004 Source: ghanamusic.com

Going to pursue further studies in the United States was to be exciting experience for Kwasi Tay, but there was more beyond.

His musical voyage started when he first listened to his mother playing records, this influenced him greatly and so for a start he tried his hands as a DJ at the Boahemain Caf? in Seattle, Washington, playing reggae music. He did the same at Ghanaian and other African Community functions in the US.

This was the start of an encouraging musical profile which has turned out to be something professional apart from his other professional pursuits and working as an accountant in corporate business in Seattle like the guitar.

His ten-track album opens with ?Welcome to Da Zone? which has elements of calypso and Souka beats,

The second track is a Terry Bonchaka flavoured beat, musically vibrant and melodious.

Kwesi Tay, a Ghanaian and an ewe, however, fuses this tracks with Twi lyrics. He also introduces rap in ewe.

Another track ?Sunday Afternoon? which is in English is all about good times rolling.

On the flipside, the tracks are saturated with reggae and raga flavours making this side musically explosive. Kwasi has come to continue where others have left off.
