THE GREAT GEORGE DARKO. PRODUCED GREAT SOUNDS IN THE LATE 70S AND EARLY 80S WHILE HE LIVED IN GERMANY. HE LATER BECAME A ROYAL FATHER IN GHANA, WITH THE TITLE OF 'NANA YAW AMPEM DARKO'.
- I knew dis guy and his music in the early 80s, when he made waves in Europe. A consummate musician, to say the least!!!
- Even though we (Nigerians in the UK then) couldn't really understand Ghanaian language, we rocked dis 'shit' to pieces. Twas great music. He blew our minds.
- I have fond memories of this, and cannot really imagine him as a king. I have promised myself to personally visit his palace to see with ma korokoro eyes whenever I visit Ghana. Will probably request him to TWANG me some guitar. lol.
- GREAT STUFF...music like dis wan is not made anymore.
- I also remember the Ben Braco of dem days...also from Ghana.
- Ee Charlie....Miunua....Etisehin....Gbokoooo!!!
Great guy, great music. I'm a Ghanaian, and proud of him. Tnx for remembering him. Good job, Naijablab.
