K. Frimpong & His Cubano Fiestas - K. Frimpong And His Cubano Fiestas Vinyl LP

Recorded in 1976, this seminal album from cult Ghanaian musician Alhaji K. Frimpong is widely regarded as one of the greatest highlife records ever made. Featuring the masterpiece Kyenkyen Bi Adi M’awu (“Come Back My Love”)—a song universally known in Ghana and later covered and sampled by artists including Chronixx and Gnarls Barkley—the album showcases Frimpong backed by Vis a Vis, one of the most influential groups of the Ghanaian highlife and Afro-rock movement. Its unique sound blends traditional percussion and horns with avant-garde touches of synthesizer, resulting in a work that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. Original pressings are extremely rare, and even the limited 2011 reissue has become highly sought after, commanding high prices on the secondhand market.
