Pat Thomas and Kwashibu Area Band

The release date is given as March 12, June 15 and June 16, 2015 by different pages, and Strut also lists June 1, 2017. Thomas sings lead and wrote the lyrics, Yeboah arranged and played keyboards, Abarbanel-Wolff played saxophone, with Emmanuel Ofori on bass and Eric Owusu on percussion. Ebo Taylor wrote horn arrangements, Tony Allen drums on "Odoo Be Ba", and Thomas's daughter Nanaaya sings. Yeboah told Strut, we had to create our own buzz, keep the sound totally real, with no digital, machine or sampled sounds. The reworked songs are "Gyae Su", "Odoo Adada" and "Mewo Akoma". Afropop's Morgan Greenstreet called it the triumphant return of Pat Thomas as a bandleader and so classic and timeless that even a late review is right on time; AllMusic listed it among the favorite Latin and world albums of 2015.
