Ghana’s The Sweet Talks

The World

Today we give you the smoking sounds of The Sweet Talks, one of Ghana’s most successful and innovative groups from the 1960s and 70s. One of their seminal recordings, The Kusum Beat, has recently become available on CD. Good thing, the original edition on vinyl could put you in triple digit dollars on eBay. Plus, The Kusum Beat is just a super-groovy recording.
