His musicality has been given to him from an early age, so that he not only attracts attention as a singer, but also plays drums, percussion and bongo. He played in various dance bands, which were very popular in Ghana especially from the middle of the last century onwards and made the Ghanaian highlife known beyond the borders. He has played in various dance bands such as New Planets, Sawaaba Sounds, The Tops, Caprice 73, The Volta Pioneers and others, which have performed in Ghana and other West African countries.\u003cbr\u003eHis first release was in 1975 with the band \u003ci\u003eDzobi Soundz\u003c\/i\u003e on the Polydor label. Further releases of projects with his participation followed, until 1983 when he recorded his album \u003ci\u003eAyo Special\u003c\/i\u003e at \u003ci\u003eOtodi Studio\u003c\/i\u003e in Lome (Togo) with an illustrious group of musicians.\u003cbr\u003eHe is still deeply rooted in music and performs in West Africa and is still very active in recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the A-side is the original version of the song \u003ci\u003eLololi-Lomko\u003c\/i\u003e, sung in the \u003ci\u003eEWE\u003c\/i\u003e language, which is spoken in the south of Ghana as well as the southern parts of Togo. \"Lololi\" means \"There's Still More Love\" and \"Lomko\" stands for \"Please love me\" - classical themes that have appeared in countless songs in music history. Although a certain catchiness of the track cannot be denied, it doesn't seem cheesy at any point. Mawuli, who also contributes the vocals, creates perfectly formed harmonies through his compositions and arrangements, which are especially apparent in the bassline, guitars \u0026amp; brass and of course the vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was certainly also the idea behind the edit of \u003ci\u003eRenegades of Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e on the B-side, which did not want to break up and alienate the organic composition. Listening closely reveals the approach: a steady tempo, a more powerful bassline and additional drums and percussions bring the song back directly to where it belongs: to the dancefloors of this world!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matasuna Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50479319089483,"sku":"1107463","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/aacf431a-d038-4c2e-abd8-615875ca5bd3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727506902"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/mawuli-decker.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
