Born in 1947 in the vibrant port city of Sekondi-Takoradi in western Ghana, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley's musical journey began with early influences from his father's military band flute playing and local highlife music. Ambolley's significance in the music world extends far beyond Ghana's borders. He is credited as the first musician from Ghana, and indeed the world, to formally incorporate rap forms into local highlife rhythms, creating a unique genre called Simigwa.
Throughout his career, Ambolley has demonstrated a remarkable ability to blend diverse musical influences. His sound incorporates elements of traditional Ghanaian rhythms, American Jazz, Funk, and Soul, creating a rich tapestry of musical expression. During his time working with Agogo Records since 2017, Ambolley has continued to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.
