E. T. Mensah - Is Back Again!!


Emmanuel Tettey Mensah, the king of highlife. It is said that highlife was brought to Nigeria by this early highlife artist from Ghana performing on one of his tours. 

Although he left the scene in the sixties, he made a comeback in the seventies and this is one of the albums from the late seventies. Beautiful sweet horn section on all tracks and on tracks like "Sekondi Market" it is like you can hear the jazzy crossover to modern western free jazz tunes one could hear playing on the radio back in the late sixties and early seventies.
Really nice album.
