Oh my God ,you make me feel at home .I used to love your music all the time when I was in Ghana. I listened to the music today at work. Thank you very much. I am going to buy the gramophone very soon so I'll be playing it.
Patrick 'Steel' Kwame (PSK) Ampadu alias *Nana Kwame Ampadu* was born on 31 March 1945 to Opanyin *Kwame Ampadu* and *Mercy Afua Ntiriwaa*, both of Obo-Kwahu, Eastern Region.
In 1963, *Nana Ampadu* formed the African Brothers Band (renamed African Brothers International Band in 1973). The name of the band, according to *Nana Ampadu,* was in support of Kwame Nkrumah’s call for African unity.
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. Snr Eddie Donkor
It took the band three good years before we were able to win confidence of *PHILIPS WEST AFRICAN LTD* who recorded our maiden 33/3 single plate: *Agyanka Dabere, Suminaso Ntonko*"
The African Brothers emerged as superstars in 1967, with their first hit *"Ebi Tie Ye."* (Some are well seated). They were part of the *new highlife sound* that fused rock and reggae bits into a tight, multiple guitar front line, accenting lyricist and leader Nana Ampadu's exhaustive, metaphor-driven sermons drawn from *stories of the animal kingdom.*
His name was changed from *PSK Ampadu* to *Nana Kwame Ampadu I* when in 1972 he won the National highlife competition held at Rex Cinema Hall, Accra to be crowned the
*Ɔdwontofoɔhene*
(Singer-in-Chief)
*Nana Ampadu* is credited with numerous popular highlife
tracks and is known to have composed over *800 songs*.
Some of his popular tracks include Ebi Te Yie, Aku Sika, Kofi Nkrabea, Obiaa Ba Nnye, Woyoo Woyoo, Mother, Mentumi Ngyae Wo, Agartha, Aye Se Ye Do Wo, Drivers, Anibere Nnye, Oman Bo Adwo, Kwaata, Sanbra (Konadu), Kukru Kukru, Emelia, Susu Ma No Nye Wo Dɛ, Obi Dɔ Ba, Ɛna Ɛyɛ a Mane Me, Abusua Nnye Asafo, Mmobrowa, Ofie Nwansena, Hini Me, San Behwe Wo Mma, Me Nyame Wo Pe Nye Ho, Oyonko Brebo
Kwasi Boahene is Eddie Donkor
Welldone
Kwasi Boahene is the great rhythm guitarist, Senior Eddie Donkor.
I like your insight into Nana 's beginning but it was Senior Eddie Donkor who was enthused by Nana's earlier recordings convinced Nana to form a band.
Senior Eddie Donkor was n't kwasi Boahen but rather Kwasi Donkor
Hmm my dad is the one singing the high tuner the late snr Eddie Donkor may their soul rest in perfect peace of God
YEA! Abena you went hiding somewhere after the release of your single song. What happened to your band? It was perceived that your group was made of siblings, if so where are the rest?
You had a great dad
Hi Abena Nyanteh, I loved your father Senior Eddie Donkor so much. The king of rhythm guitar.
Aawww😭😭😭😭
I love them both. But senior Eddie Donkor is my number 1❤
We from eastern part of Nigeria like Ghana music so much
Blessed memory of my lovely ❤ daddy, Late chief Emeka Ozioko... Ghana highlife music was his favorite during is life time in Enugu state, When he was in the (NPF) Nigerian police mopol 3 Enugu....Rest well daddy until will meet again😂😂😂😂😂
Listening to this and reliving the 1970s in Tema, Ghana. Nana Ampadu and the African Brothers are highlife legends. May Nana’s soul RIP 💙
Am 41yrs but am enjoing itto the max
I have lost many musician friends, Nana Ampadu's passage for me is the height.I will remember him until my last day cos he made my life a happy one musically. Rest in perfect peace my legendary icon.
Hmmm!! anytime i play any of Nana Ampadu songs my eyes started sharing tears automatically, cos i learnt much wisdoms from his songs, when i was still a teenager
Hmmm 1969 I was only 10 yrs old and grown up with your songs and love to listen to your music
Mee too
Psk father, grandfather please May your soul rest in perfect peace. Now we know you are relaxing in the Bosom, of our brother Abraham. Please stay blessed. Ghana and Ghanaians are with you

Most of us that went to school in Aba- Abia State, Nigeria, in 1970 has a lot to say about African brothers, We love Ghana highlife to be candid.

This is proper music 🎶
I can listen to Nana Ampadu's music the whole day without any food
The good old days good vibes
I miss my old ancestors 🙂🔥
Whether anyone likes it or not we'll never see another happy times like we saw in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Nothing will surpass the highlife period.
Exactly
Highlife as "we" know is extinct!!
Lucky to have been around in the era when Highlife was at its peak.
the world was happier place . cost of living was low
@@brianadumensah7157 Today it looks as if the whole world we don't know exactly where we are heading towards.
Those were the days when there was Discipline in our Music. Music made sense
These bass lines always gave me life!!
Broo, those old folks were laying down some haarrd base lines 🔥
Aaawww I just love this song 3na ya maneme
NANA PSK AMPADU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED ON EARTH AND IN GHANA FOR HIS GOOD MESSAGE AND HIS BEING A PAYROTIC AND ENVAGALISTIC
WORO
Nana Kwame Ampadu, best musician ever live in Ghana, and perhap one of the best in Africa. RIP Nana
The man with over 800 songs
That's the maestro himself
Nana Ampadu was a great performer on stage as l have personally attended his shows several times in the 70’s. I so much love his music that l almost all collections of his songs. His songs are very educative. I have personally met him some years back in Paris he was shocked to know that l had almost all collections of his songs.
the songs was a hit in the 70s and 80s exactly in Onitsha ado n' idu
The great entertainer RIP. We will forever miss you.
My God. Just got to know my beloved Nana is dead. Am a Nigerian and grew to hear and love Nana songs. Great songs, great guy. RIP man!
Definitely the best album of Nana Ampadu’s lot. Thank you Nana for this timeless music
The good old days.
Nana Ampadu the Greatest

Koo
He was seen to be my best friend of old times
Nana Kwame Ampadu is really musical composer and legend in Ghana and Africa in general
Excactly, his was really a music maker
There is an organic cohesiveneness to this album that ties all the songs to make the album a classic!
This is a real music
Great Nana Ampadu
This is the old time musicians with good appearance, well centred suits, not today's young musicians appears to be rascals and comedians.
And today's musicians you don't understand their music.
I remember the days of our father's and their a advice
Today's so-called musicians are all gangsters with nothing good to offer.
All i can i say is May you Live long Nana
Thanks for this. |Left my album back in Ghana and been missing it badly. For me this is one the best albums of all time. Frikkin timeless and dem dere guitars!!!!!!!!!
For me, these guitars kind of remind me of the Stone Roses (they are from Manchester and were popular when I was a teenager in the 90s)
My best is the track that seem to be singing, "Sambro Ma'me o!" Ampadu's best to we Igbos of Biafraland is "Kofi Nkrabia."
I so agree.
Abusua nye asafo: the vocal is very great
Old memories
I'm reminded back school days in Abetifi kwahu (p u c)when boys gathered for some wine with these tunes behind
You shall always be missed
We will never see happiness times like this again. RIP Nana we will forever miss you.
oh thanks that Album has carry me trough hard Times
Music of yesteryears when we used to go to Easter at Kwahu Nana anaa.
Yes ooo. We were young enough to follow them whereever they went.

Hope the band is still alive

African states.
There was one Kofi Eyinson and Kofi Yankson of CK Mann's fame. Kofi Enyinson, a police officer, composed "M'adamfo Pa."
I remember Onitsha Obosi and Enyimba and Aba south eastern Nigeria
eze nwafada confirm Alobam
Boss question, I know they were in Nigeria those days especially at Aba City, but how did you guys understood the language. Was it the performance that pleased the people?
Sure that year
Mpa ndi mpa I remember how enjoy our self's with this song in Onitsha
@@AJ-Omokeka
I am a Ghanaian myself. Your question was due to the beat. All the players of the instrumentals depend on the kongalist. He has to be energetic, that is why those days there use to several kongalist during live bands. Even in studios, during a particular music, there will be 2 to 3 drummers.
What a legend..great African son
Why no new music we the Eastern Nigeria love Ghana music
This is freaking spectacular
This is the most favourite of all the albums of Nana Ampedu.In blessed memory of the late Yaw Ankomah of Yahmowes band.He was. Like. a. father. to me
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Best album of Ghana highlive musik ever made
I remember in 70s i saw Nana Ampadu calendar ,,Nana Ampadu Small in appearance big in business,,
Great story Nana may you live long
Very good job Nana May God bless you
All these tracks remembers me those days of kumasi krofrom Ghana chop bar and santos nite club
I love the lead guitar
Osae is the lead guitarist. I am sure

With this track, "Agya Yaw Attah," I do recall my friends, Kwaa Attah, Ko Ofori, Teacher Latif, Gyan, (all of Akoase/ Nkawkaw) Yaa Foriwaa of Pankese in nostalgia.

Nana songs is just too good. The song is too good that some lost control even in steering while driving therefore his songs also dangerously too good for over indulgence. Too good a genius. RIP my Legend!

That is it
The legend bob nestar marley
I love this. Some bass tunes for me to learn. Especially the second tune! In some ways, the echoey tone sounds just like a lot of music did in the late 60s, but in a way it also sounds like it was done a bit later.
The bass line on " mmobrowa" is the first song I learned to play.
African Brothers at their apogee.
Nwa otu onitsha ozuola
