After several years of going unheard, Wulomei returns with a collection of their hit songs, Wulomei Returns.
It consists of 10 sensational versions of their hit songs, making them Ghanaian music superstars decades ago.
Songs like ‘Aklowa’, ‘Meridian and ‘Takoradi’ are given exciting modern arrangements from Afro Beats, Soul, Reggae and Highlife.
Significantly, the album is still rooted in powerful Ga rhythms of old Accra that should get you dancing!
Wulomei Returns is produced by Dr Kwesi Owusu of Creative Storm, Vico Mensah of Osibisa, and Nii Tei Ashitey, the founder of Wulomei, who sadly passed away last year.
Each track on the album brings special musical influences to the original. The album still features catchy sing-along melodies, infused with the exciting sounds of today.
A crack team of musicians do justice to the songs, from the striking guitar work by Kari Bannerman to Paul Bilson’s haunting Miles Davis-like trumpet opening to ‘Takoradi’, which Tinny raps on.
Tracks are available on Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and other global platforms. Stream here.
