Pat Thomas – Yesu San Bra (1980)
A track reminiscent of of K. Frimpong’s “Kyenkyen Bi Adi Mawu”, the greatest Ghanian song EVER. Pat was a native of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. He learned the guitar and drums from his uncle Onyina who had played with Nat King Cole, Miriam Makeba, Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald. In the early 70s he was a member of The Blue Monks, the resident band of Accra’s Tip Toe Nite Club (which still exists). He later formed the Sweat Beans Band, an extremely popular group during the Kutu Acheampong Era of government (1972-78). Pat was crowned Mr. Golden Voice of Africa in 1978.
