Description

Reissue of Edzayawa's first and only LP 'Projection One'. Originally released in 1973 by EMI Nigeria 'Projection One' came out at a time when Osibisa and Fela's influence was being felt across West Africa, and was the young Ghanaians' band attempt at creating something unique and distinctly African. Writing songs with a heavy rock influence but distinctly African feel, Edzayawa wrote dark and deeply philosophical tracks with strong traditional themes far removed from the sweet love songs many of their contemporizes were writing. The majority of their songs were based around a 6/8 rhythm, influenced by the Ewe people originating in the South East of Ghana. Constantly searching for an adventure, they headed to Fela Kuti's Kalakuta Republic. There they a long talk with Fela and eventually got asked to play at The Shrine.It was during this time the band recorded 'Projection One' in E.M.I Studio Lagos.
