Psycho African Beat

by The Psychedelic Aliens

Gathering the entirety of the band's incredibly rare late-60s output on the Polydor label, this collection shines a light on one of Ghana's fiercest, most fuzz-drenched rock outfits. Heavily indebted to James Brown and the British Invasion, the group paired explosive, wah-wah guitar solos with driving African percussion and soulful vocal harmonies. The compilation is a blazing, high-energy artifact of the early West African rock explosion.
