Alhaji K. Frimpong


I know very little about Alhaji K. Frimpong. There's a severe paucity of information about him on the internet. In fact, I've only heard two songs. But that's all it took for me to fall unquestionably in love. What I have found out is that he's part of the Ghanian/Nigerian Highlife movement. It seems he only released two albums: Okwantuni (1995) and Kyenkyen Bi Adi Mawu! (1998). And he's no longer with us (2005 - R.I.P.). Both albums are long out of print. The songs I've heard can be found on the Ghana Soundz Compilations. This track appears on Volume 1. Check the Moog solo towards the end of the song. Off - the - hook:

If you know any more about Alhaji or have access to more of his music, please contact me!

Update: Came across scans of 2 K Frimpong album covers ( with his Cubano Fiestas) at the fantastic Voodoo Funk. This leads me to believe the Wikipedia post that puts his discography at just 2 releases is incorrect. Got some answers? Pass 'em on.
