No matter how far I stray I always seem to come back to the stripped down sound of Wulomei. This neo-cultural outfit led the "back to my roots" movement in Ghana during the 70s (If you haven't already, check out my previous posts on them).
What's most amazing is to think that one could be at the Napoleon night club in Accra one minute, catching Some afro-rock house band, and then drive across town and see a band like Wulomei banging out an accoustic set in full tribal regalia. And 40 years later, after all those afro-rock and funks bands have come and gone, Wulomei is one of the few bands from that era that still marches on.
