PSYCHEDELIC WOMAN / SIMIGWADO by HONNY & THE BEES / GYEDUBLAY AMBOLLEY & THE STENEBOOFS

Two hot Ghana tracks repressed on this 7" !Ghanaian group Honny & The Bee’s Band recorded ‘Psychedelic Woman’ for a release on Essiebons in 1973. Little is known about the group. ‘Psychedelic Woman’ is, as you would expect from the name, a psychedelic midtempo groover. Punctuated with a hypnotic guitar line, percussion and a catchy sung chorus. Gyedu-Blay Ambolley & The Steneboofs – Simigwado Breaks and grooves, underpin this upbeat call-and-response JB-esque afro-funk gem, from Ghanaian legend Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and his group The Steneboofs. Originally released on a Capeside 45 in 1973. Ambolley released the highly sought afer ‘Simigwa’ LP on Essiebons in the same year.
