Influenced by musicians like James Brown and Otis Redding, Accra-born musician Rob released just three albums during his career, one of which was this self-titled LP.

Rob’s six tracks mix “imperious horns”, “raw soul”, “synth flares” and “brass blasts” aplenty, shares Mr Bongo.

“Funky music is in my blood,” explains Rob. “What you hear is the coming out of my mind.”

The album follows Mr Bongo’s re-release of Akofa Akoussah’s Akofa Akoussah this January – one of our favourite reissues in early 2019.
