After putting together two volumes of Brazil 45s mixes for Mr Bongo, I
was thrilled when they asked me to put together this mix of material
from the wonderful Ebo Taylor in support of his new album. Like most
music from his generation, my first point of discovery was through
samples so this mix includes tracks like 'Come Along' (as sampled by
Ghetto Concept, whose track 'Certified' I also included) alongside a
selection of favourite cuts from his back catalogue. A couple of years
back I had the pleasure of DJing in support of one Ebo's live shows in
London - It was an education in Afrobeat and the Highlife sound and I
can only hope that I might have the same energy and enthusiasm for music
that his live performances and his new album exhibit after 8 decades.
