artist: Onyina's Guitar Band
songs: Odo Ye Owu - Konkonsa Ni Be Bere
album: VARIOUS ARTISTS - STARS OF GHANA (DECCA, WAP 21)

Kwabena Onyina aka "King Onyina" was born in 1932 in Agona Ashanti, Ghana. His father played guitar as a hobby and the young Onyina picked up the instrument at an early age. Onyina's Guitar Band was first formed under that name in 1953 but the band did not taste success until 1961 when a national guitar band competition saw Onyina emerge as the winner. The songs in this video are taken from the Decca LP "Stars of Ghana", released in the 1960's, featuring Onyina's Guitar Band along with several other Highlife artist popular in Ghana during that period.
