Sweet Vibration

Soundway reissues sought-after 80s Ghanaian disco album by Charles Amoah.Following on from the runaway success of Soundway's Kiki Gyan 24 Hours In A Disco, another Ghanaian legend looks to have his time to shine.One of the most well-known disco and burger highlife artists of the time, Charles Amoah originally began his career as a drummer. Playing with Alex Kunadu's band, as well as the Precious Jewels and even Nana Tuffour, he then moved to Germany in the early 80s.His first album Sweet Vibration spawned several hits which went on to be released as separate singles, namely "Scratch My Back" and "Shake Your Body To The Beat".From the irresistible funk hooks of these singles, to the Lionel Richie-esque instrumentation of "Life's Like Being In A Boxing Ring", or the kraut-rock stylings of "Jungle Rock" - there is little doubt that the blend of disco, funk and highlife that was unique to the Ghanaian-German scene can be experienced in it's full splendour on Sweet Vibration.A1.
