Kwaku A. Mensah

Given birth to the nephew from the seminal Ghanaian musician Sam, Kwame Asare (author of the vintage track “Yaa Amponsah,” which would end up being the anthem of acoustic guitar highlife and palmwine acoustic guitar) discovered the two-finger finding varieties of his uncle and took these to heart to be probably one of the most popular Ghanaian music artists within the years pursuing World Battle II. He created a huge level of 78s through the 1950s (some quotes put the quantity around 500), and was completely copied by various other guitarists in Ghana. Following the ’50s, Kwaa withdrew relatively, but resurfaced in the 1970s throughout a short U.S. tour with Wulomei, several Ga roots music artists. He created one full-length record in 1975, Wawo Christo, and passed away in 1991.
