| | Sweet Talks were amongst the top five most popular bands in Ghana | |
| | during the 1970s having recorded a string of hit albums. æThe | |
| | Kusum BeatÆ was originally released in 1974 and became a | |
| | household favourite with heavy emphasis on the æAfroÆ through its | |
| | traditional rhythms and motifs, blended together into a modern | |
| | mix that combined highlife, funk and Afrobeat. | |
| | | |
| | Like a small handful of seminal Ghanaian albums, The Kusum Beat | |
| | has stood the test of time and sounds as original and unique | |
| | today as it did back in 1974. Original pressings are in high | |
| | demand and can be found on record exchanges for significant | |
| | prices. This was the second album from the band formerly known as | |
| | æEl DoradosÆ, later to change their name to æMedican LantcisÆ | |
| | before settling on æSweet TalksÆ û they were live residents at | |
| | the legendary æTalk of the TownÆ nightclub in the port town of | |
| | Tema near Accra. It is here they established a name for | |
| | themselves as one of the most exciting young bands in the | |
| | country. | |
| | | |
| | Due to the popularity and commercial success of their first three | |
| | albums û Adam & Eve, Kusum Beat and Spiritual Ghana û the band | |
| | began touring on a regular basis and made it as far as Los | |
| | Angeles. They went on to record what was to be their biggest | |
| | selling record, the Hollywood Highlife Party LP, as well as some | |
| | straight disco recordings aimed squarely at the burgeoning | |
| | American market. | |
| | | |
| | The Kusum Beat is far from typical of their trademark sound but | |
| | shows just how versatile an outfit they were û able to turn their | |
| | hands to any one of a number of styles. ItÆs a great reminder of | |
| | how open-minded, experimental and curious the music scene in | |
| | Ghana was in the first half of the 1970s. | |
