Daasebre Gyamenah, one of the nation?s top highlife musicians, noted for rock highlife ballads and love classics has returned home after three months of intensive recording of his latest album ?How Far Daasebre Gyamenah? in Germany.
Although he had a successful work done there, he nearly got into trouble when a young blonde white female musical lover, Cynthia of Berlin, threatened the smooth running of his studio work.
Cynthia who has a passion for local Ghanaian highlife music got hooked to one of Daasebre?s early love songs ?Wo Ko Da Kae Odo?.
This song apparently became a source of yearning and according to Daasebre, she fell over head over heels.
When told the meaning of the lyrics and learning of Daasebre?s presence in town, she saw it as an opportunity to make love advances to him.
Her irresistible nature nearly jeopardized his studio work since it was interfering with his time for studio work.
Speaking in a brief interview with Daasebre, he said he loved his wife so much and wanted to avoid embarrassing her.
All the songs in this eight track album were written, composed and arranged by Daasebre with backing vocals from Abigail Apenteng of D?sseldorf, Germany.
The programming was done by Bodo of Stager of Rheinwang Studios in D?sseldorf.
The first track opens with a danceable medley of slow rock fused with highlife and laced with reggae, rich in melody. The tempo and interchange of rhythm in the semblance of Alpha Blondy?s vocal style is evident.
?How Far?, the title track of the album has tune and rhythm of late Marvin Gaye?s ?Sexual Healing? hit.
With excerpts of lyrics like ?Odo Be Te Arkoma? and ?Oba Pa Ye Dwetei? meaning love can be heart-breaking and a good woman is the jewel, the third and fourth tracks indicate that Daasebre has departed from a set pattern. The third ?Onongbo? is calypso in beat and rhythm.
On the flipside, ?Enye Aduro? is a love track which is spills excerpts like ?love goes to where there is love?.
This followed by ?Aniwuo?, a slow jivy reggae rock tune which flows in the lyrics ?No one knows tomorrow and should not prejudge God. The world changes and so no condition is permanent?.
The third assumes a biblical theme in praise of God. The last track is a quick reggae love song full of proverbial effusions.
The album is Daasebre Gyamenah?s darling pieces and is distributed by ?U Name It?.
