It took me 3 YEARS to finally find this song!THREE FREAKING YEARS! Someone sampled it and never told me who it was, I’ve tried Shazam and tried figuring out the lyrics but just couldn’t get it and finally after listening to thousands of songs with a similar vibe to this on Spotify I finally found it. Fuck the dude that sampled the song and ignored me for asking
i am a drummer and it is surreal how the drummer in this band pulled this off improvising basically most of the time, it's absolutely insane and it's also the reason why I only train technique and ear-by-improv... reading sheet music isn't as satisfying for me... i need to be the one speaking like this drummer. I'm out of words
I heard this one at The Den in Santa Ana, CA. I was visiting friends after some tough times and I was thinking about love, happiness, fun, ego, what it means to be myself, what it means to be comfortable. Afrobeat and world music is the way to go. I feel so alive when I listen to it, so happy.
He is the original creator of afrobeats and fela learnt from him. Thus sing and genre was popular in ghana way before the 50"s before Nigeria fela kuti took it to Nigeria when he was living and working in ghana
@@cityrapper9858 I was referring to afro beat music in general, of which I was unaware until a friend from Nigeria played some for me. In return I turned him on to Brazilian music.
I heard this while I was in a skate shop in Rotterdam, that dude was so kind and nicely, I asked him, is that your playlist? He said, yes and smiled. So much thanks on the brother, I appreciate this music and always connect it a peaceful mind and experience.
It's nothing to do with blood guys. Statements like that make other people feel creatively obsolete. To tackle this statement with the outcome of a universally acceptable re-statement we must consider many great factors with what is considered the norm with African societies and what is considered the norm in the creation of music. Now I love my African brothers and sisters but that is not where music has ever stemmed from however it is a great part of where a lot of real music has been created. What I mean by this, without sounding too confusing, is that most people experience the inner music when faced with either tough times, emotional loss, the experience can happen even when experiencing positivity. The fact is some, and I will not say all, music begins in an emotional trance that is entirely spiritual. It begins here and that is the norm within the creation of music. What causes it? Could be anything but is it not strange how music comes from poverty stricken areas, areas where it seems that the hope is almost lost? Or from people who have endured great suffering? It is the tale of a real artist, we cry with our souls to put that truth on a bit of wax. This is where African societies come into play and if you do not like that example just simply think of Detroit. But to summarise, music stems from within subject to conditions and to actualise these conditions we must be experiencing something so deep that it affects our soul, our spirituality, our mentality and everything that comes with it.
d Lux im with you. That that statement. Can get quite racial. And it leads to other differ-racial differences. And that subject is prone to fail. Nobody knows the differences. But my beliefe is that woman men. Different colours are more the same, than different to eachother Anyhow. Its just something with black people and music. Not saying others cant make music. But it somehow taps into their "being" more than others. Its just more natural. Because i have this belief im biased. But i cant recall many videos on youtube. Where you see for example people of other continents just let loose and go totally crazy in the prescence of music. But with with african descents its just everywhere. Whenever whatever they are brought up.
no offence to the d lux guy, but it is in our blood. it's in our spirit, which why african people all over the world move with rhythm and connect with music on a higher frequency compared to most other culture on the earth and where you people with rhythm they have been strongly influenced by black african music. So there is nothing to tackle really. It's in our blood, plain and simple. The european man learns in a sequence set pattern (non rhythm) the African black man learns in a flow rhythm. This is clear and very clear it's in our blood.
OMG!!... I had only one speaker off and i had miss 5min of the songs with out the drum set!... I like it better with out the drum set! as crazy as that might sond.
I'm pretty sure it's intentional, ebo's voice is out of tune too, it's just a janky improv soul speech, it's all about accepting imperfection and realize they have accomplished this with a super minimal setup. I agree with you though, it's frustrating if you aren't willing to accept

who sampled this?
Damn, congrats. I know how maddening that can be. You musta sorted through a lot of Fela Kuti
@@TheMfmccarthy Fela Kuti,Basa Basa,Laraaji and more!! It was stressful but I end up discovering lots of amazing hits.
How didn’t you find out they sampled it?
I wanna hear the Sampled version. Who did it?
African music from the 70's just amazing.
Ya, amazing for eternity I hope and wish,
Proud Afrikan and Ghanaian
You deserve to be proud. I take my hat off to you. Simply awesome music....

Afrobeat drummers are something else! Some of Fela Kuti's songs have a super tight drum part too.
@@tremendinproductions this isn’t afrobeats. This is highlife
Exaaaaaatly
ebo taylor should be way more famous

Killer
👑👌✊✌👍
Keep dancing till the end...
nice hidden track
Is this released on analog africa?
Guess Malo listened to Ebo...or vice versa?
What year was this album released?

Seal sound like Ebo
is it me or the song resembles smile by lilly allen.. but this is cooler
What's the song at the end??
Ekule Nugble Nu
Why is there 33 thumbs down. Silly kids
Is that really you, Mr. Ocean?
They don't know any better😞
:)
What the fuck is Mumble rap in front of this? Who the fuck is Taylor Swift in front of Ebo Taylor?
Takes a minute to get used to the janky tuning in this song after listening to other music that's tuned exactly to A440
o_o
Ghanaian are too shy to own a craft oh my God🤔
Ebo Taylor & the Pelicans are unquestionable afro-beat emperors.
But sorry, I just can't bear that out of tune bass high tone :'(
