Born in 1936, guitarist, composer, arranger, bandleader, and producer Ebo Taylor has been a central figure of the Ghanaian music scene for over six decades. In the late 1950es he was active in the influential Highlife bands the Stargazers and the Broadway Dance Band, and in 1962 he took his own group, the Black Star Highlife Band, to London, which led to collaborations with Fela Kuti and other African musicians in Britain at the time.
