ROYAL BROTHERS BAND - Subann pa / Rose Bra

14,00 €

A sweet mellow cha cha cha with that very disctinctive Ghana accent which makes their interpretations of latin rhythms so singular. A side is a highlife. Scarce single, super rare on French press too, tracks taken from their 1963 10" LP. Record has light noise, also some audible sound distortion from warp on the highlife tune though the cha cha cha plays nicely, Wear on A side label, pressing bubbles but still plays well.
