Recorded in Dusseldorf, West Germany with a mixed personnel of German and African musicians, this 1988 private press synthy highlife album is one of only a handful of known recordings by Ghanaian guitarist Rex Gyamfi.  Although likely also a German pressing, this copy was pressed in Toronto by Nubian Productions.  Not your average highlife here, with electronic drums, synth and a boogie feel on a few tracks.
