Nana Ampadu explained how the African Brothers Band was formed: "In 1963, I Nana Kwame Ampadu, then called *Patrick Kwame Ampadu* was approached by a gentleman by the name *Kwasi Boahene*, a resident of Nima who told me he was enthused by my prowess at my band rehearsals at Adabraka-Accra. He suggested to me his in-law had some musical instruments, though not full set and added we could set up a band. His persuasion won my confidence so I gave him a consent but explained I have to discuss with my elder brother *Rover Kofi Amo* who I stayed with at Adabraka" "Before this event, Rover and I had already purchased conga drums, an acoustic guitar, and a locally made set of set of drums. Met with Kwasi Boahene and his In-law and we came to a consensus to combine the musical instruments and started recruiting bandsmen. Already we had *Yaw Owusu,* who was my cousin, P.K Ampadu, Rover Kofi Amo, Kwasi Boahene, Kwame Anim,Yaw Asante and K. Ofori" "When it came to the group name, we asked each member to suggest a name, K.Ofori suggested *The African Brothers Band* and we all agreed as a way to show support for Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, first president of Ghana’s fight for Africa Unity" "In September 1963 at Park Cinema, *The African Brothers Band* was inaugurated with the following band's men. 1. P.K Ampadu 2. Rover Amo Ampadu 3. Kwasi Boahene 4. Yaw Owusu 5. Kwame Anim 6. Yaw Asante 7. Nana Nyarko 8.
