Soundway Records present "24 Hours in A
Disco 1978 - 82", 7 cuts of relentless
disco grooves from the sublimely gifted
Kiki Gyan. Hailed as Africa's answer to
Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-
instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical
wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from
the lowly status of high school dropout
to being ranked eighth in a poll of the
greatest keyboardists in the world
(occupying the rarefied air of the top
ten with heavyweights like Steve
Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie
Wonder) as well as becoming an in-
demand session player in the top
recording studios of London û all
before his twenty-first birthday.
Out on his own, he produced a series of
highly ambitious disco records aimed at
positioning him as an international
star, but weighed down by the excesses
of the era, Gyan saw his meteoric rise
matched by an equally swift fall back
into obscurity.
Loved dearly by his contemporaries and
sorely missed since his death in 2005
the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko
"Kiki" Gyan is one often told with
warning by his friends to the new
generation of aspiring Ghanaian
popstars.
Soundway Records now collects the best
of Gyan's work as a frontman and solo
artist, featuring an array of
electrifying disco grooves that still
sound contemporary (and in some cases
futuristic) decades after their initial
release.
