Ghanaian music icon Ebo Taylor has released a new single titled ‘Obi Do Woa’, taken off his upcoming album ‘Jazz is Dead 021’ scheduled for release in October.
With recent musical performances at We Out Here Festival and Hootananny, Brixton in the UK as well as Festivalle in Sicily, the legendary highlife pioneer is not slowing down any time soon.
Perfectly showcasing his rich and unique vocal finesse on this record makes it a perfect introduction to the long-awaited album with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
The song was recorded in Los Angeles at Linear Labs studio together with some members of the Ebo Taylor Family band from Ghana.
As explained by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad – the forces behind this project, it was a great honour working with the Ghanaian legend.
‘Jazz Is Dead’ is a global movement experienced through community and culture. Founded in 2017, the movement is led by music producers Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, concert producer Andrew Lojero and industry veteran Adam Block.
They travel the world searching for rare records and the artists who created them.
‘Jazz Is Dead’ seeks to honor the legacies of these musical heroes including 89-year-old Ebo Taylor through live concerts, visual media and new analog recordings. ‘Jazz Is Dead 021’ is the third edition of the group’s compilation.
A tour curated by ‘Jazz Is Dead’ will see Ebo Taylor touring North America. And for the first time, the Ghanaian musician will be performing in Mexico and Brazil as well.
Starting October 9th in Los Angeles Ebo Taylor will perform with his Family band and Pat Thomas.
