Ebo Taylor, now well into his 70s, remains a Ghanaian legend – a songwriter, composer, bandleader and guitar players whose music mixes Highlife, Afrobeat, Funk to create a sweet, infectious, euphoric sound. His music was a crucial influence on Fool’s Gold, a Los Angeles indie collective who weave Western pop aesthetics together with African rhythms and melodies.
