This dude was big shit in Ghana in the 70's (maybe not, I'm gonna assume he was). At the forefront of Afro-Beat along with the incomparable Fela Kuti (whom he studied music alongside in London). Tight funk with endless grooves and BIG horns.
Amanaz were one of a handful of rock groups that came out of Zambia in the early 1970's. These guys took the fuzzy rock n roll du jour and made it the only way they knew how, with a distinctly African flavor that is full of depth and feeling. Check out the entire collection of their songs available on an album entitled "Africa". It fucking rules.
