Afrobeat Airways 2: Return Flight To Ghana 1974-1983 (CD)From the coastal cities of Accra and Cape Coast, basked in a tropical sound heavily influenced by highlife, to the semi Saharan cities of Tamal and Bolgatanga (part of a self proclaimed 'Islamic Funk Belt') via the central city of Kumasi, Analog Africa has criss crossed Ghana in search of rare tracks for the Afrobeat Airways series. Following the success of the first instalment in 2009, Analog Africa is proud to present the second volume a selection

From the coastal cities of Accra and Cape Coast, basked in a tropical sound heavily influenced by highlife, to the semi-Saharan cities of Tamalé and Bolgatanga (part of a self-proclaimed 'Islamic Funk Belt') via the central city of Kumasi, Analog Africa has criss-crossed Ghana in search of rare tracks for the Afrobeat Airways series.

Following the success of the first instalment in 2009, Analog Africa is proud to present the second volume - a selection of 13 ultra-rare tracks composed by some of the musical giants who had created a movement that rocked the West African nation throughout the '70s: legendary singer K. Frimpong; Nana Ampedu (leader of the mighty African Brothers Band); Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and his superb guest appearance with The Complex Sounds; afrobeat star Ebo Taylor, backing his son in an unreleased track called 'Children Don't Cry'; the enigmatic Rob and his unique blend of twisted afrofunk; innovative drummer De Frank; and Uppers International, with their raw Islamic funk style. More obscure artists such as Los Issufu and his Moslems, Waza Afrika 76 and Tony Sarfo and his Funky Afrosibi make northern hemisphere debuts, adding to a rich list of Ghanaian artists whose music could be transferred seamlessly to any dancefloor in the world.

Three years in the making, the accompanying 44-page booklet of Afrobeat Airways 2 features an introductory essay written by Afropop Worldwide editor Banning Eyre, exploring the development of soul, funk and afrobeat during the '60s and '70s in Ghana. The remaining 30 pages are packed with interviews and biographies of the artists and producers involved in the creation of this wonderful music. Additionally, the Analog Africa team have managed to track down the photographers of the famous Modern Photo studios, located at the front of Accra's legendary Tip Toe, a venue notorious for organizing unforgettable dance competitions, 'Miss Tip Toe' contests and the most in-demand highlife and afrobeat gigs of the day.

To document what happened within the music scene in Ghana during that time, 400 negatives have been lent to the Analog Africa team. Samy Ben Redjeb selected 50 of the most expressive pictures to document what could well be Analog Africa's most beautiful booklet to date!

Perfect Suit Great Quality and Value
Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years, Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years
I love at how nice this boys suit turned out. The slim fit gives it a stylish, elegant look, and it makes my nephew look so sharp and grown up. Fit true to size. The material feels good quality, not thin or cheap, and it’s definitely nicer than I expected for the price. I really like that it comes as a full set, which made things so much easier instead of having to buy down extra pieces. Love the tie and the vest, so cute. He wore it for a special event and got so many compliments, people couldn’t believe how handsome he looked. It stayed looking neat all day, and he was able to move around comfortably. I could easily see him wearing this again for weddings, church, holidays, or even school pictures. Overall, it’s a great buy if you want your little guy to look dressed up without spending a fortune. Beautiful boys suit, stylish and elegant, great value and quality. Wash inside out, and air dry.

One of the best suits out there!!
Color: Christmas Green, Size: 8 Years
I am not one who write reviews, so the fact that I'm penning this review you should know. These suits are the best, the sizing, the fit, the quality everything is perfect. I bought for my 3 sons and they all fit well, I was worried about the fit because one of my son is slender but tall so length things would be okay but waist toooo big, with this suit everything was on point. Ages: 13-14(about 5"4-5"5 have a little body wouldn't consider husky) got him size 18, 10-11(slender but a little tall for his age) got him size 14, 9yr old(average height and body size) got him size 8. Can't beat the price and for 6 pieces(pants, vest, jacket, shirt, tie, bowtie)

Great buy
Color: Champagne, Size: 6 Years
I bought 3 sizes for my sons to wear at our wedding. They are heavy duty quality material. The dress shirts are a little stiff and snug but also great quality. Would buy again 100%
