Ebo Taylor Returns

Ebo Taylor has triumphantly arrived back in #Accra, #Ghana. Thanks Paulina Oduro. Thanks M.anifest. Thanks Tony Akablay. Thanks Ben Jerry Telfer. Thanks Ebo Taylor Jr. And Jimmy Cliff stopped by!

Ebo Taylor's new album, Love and Death, is already number two on the World Chart in Canada. This is only the beginning of the new Taylor Revolution. The old Taylor revolution gave us Jazzified HighLife and AfroBeat. Yes, Ebo Taylor is an inventor of AfroBeat. Ask Geraldo Pino. Ask Fela. Ask Tony Allen. Ask Eric. Ask Ambolley.

The next Ebo Taylor would feature the second album of Bonze Konkomba, a tribute to the legendary producer Essiebons. The first Bonze Konkomba album, Abenkwan Puchaa sold out yesterday. Apply to me by email for a new signed copy. Ebo Taylor would stage major shows in Ghana in Accra with his AfroBeat support AfroBeat Academy of Berlin and his Saltpond roots base Bonze Konkomba next January. If Uncle Ebo is good enough fo rthe President of Germany, he is good enough for us!

And Uncle Ebo is good for development. Ebo Taylor and Essiebons today constitute Ghana's most rady claim to the global creative economy. In my own research with Moree fishers, one hour of Ebo Taylor at Thomas Fynn's Gentleman's Spot at Moree station has been worht five years of reputation, even with the Kwaw Kese boys of Moree - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxJaQ9n_nds
