Ebo Taylor & Uhuru Yenzu – Conflict Nkru! (Vinyl)
Highlife songwriter, musician and producer Ebo Taylor returned to stake his claim as one of Africa’s best kept musical secrets with his Love And Death album in 2009.
Last year’s Appia Kwa Bridge continued his resurgence, with a focused set in which Taylor, now in his mid-70s, displayed a fine compositional skill developed over a lifetime. In the 1970s Ebo Taylor became one of Ghana’s most prominent arrangers, working with the Apagya Show Band and musicians including C.K. Mann and Pat Thomas.
To capitalise on the revived interest in Taylor, Mr Bongo have reissued two long out of print classic recordings that capture the artist in his prime in the late 1970s and early 80s; his self-titled 1977 album and also 1980’s Conflict Nkru! with Uhuru Yenzu.
Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Reissue, Yellow
Tracklist:
A1 You Need Love
A2 Love And Death
B1 What Is Life?
B2 Christ Will Come
B3 Victory

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
