about

Introducing the 'Saltpond City Band'. A buoyant 8-piece outfit hailing from Ghana, blending soulful highlife and percussive funk in their new album 'Boko A Ko', forthcoming on Meet Me There Records.

The Saltpond City Band was initially formed by the legendary Ghanaian highlife musician Ebo Taylor and is now led by his son, the keyboardist and lead vocalist, Henry Taylor.

The album 'Boko A Ko' serves up a fusion of highlife, funk and afrobeat, slickly woven into a refreshing twist on classic Ghanaian highlife. With the core of the band set deep in the highlife experience, Taylor and company deliver a driving combination of robust horns, fluid percussion and earthy vocals. The album features Ebo Taylor himself on 'Mennbo Wobi', which also welcomes Ghanaian flute extraordinaire Dela Botri delivering flashes of melodic escapism to set the track on fire.

The forthcoming album is set to be released on the brand new label 'Meet Me There Records' (MMTR). MMTR is a community-based project aiming to put the artist first. With profits split 50:50 between artist and label, 25% of the label profits will go directly to the building of a recording studio in the local community of Dzita in West Ghana, Wornana Studios, which will become one of the first accessible recording studios in the Volta region.
