Ghanaian music icon Ebo Taylor has just released a new single titled ‘Obi Do Woa’ (If Someone Loves You), featuring legendary highlife pioneer Ebo Taylor. This single is part of his upcoming album ‘JAZZ IS DEAD 021’ set to be released in October.
Taylor has been making waves with recent performances at various festivals such as We Out Here Festival, Hootananny in the UK, and Festivalle in Sicily. The song was recorded at Linear Labs studios in Los Angeles with members of the Ebo Taylor Family band from Ghana.
