Ambolley is revered as the Simigwahene in Ghana – The King of Simigwa-Highlife. Because of his deep, soulful, and funky Highlife sound, he is also sometimes referred to as the “James Brown of Ghana”. And not without reason. His blend of Highlife, Funk, Jazz, Soul, and proto-Rap was and is still exhilarating.
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. He learned music from outstanding artists like Sammy Larteh and Ebo Taylor, with whom he played In the Uhuru Dance Band. Together they founded the Apagya Show Band in 1974. Now, after more than 40 years active in music and his numerous album, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley is a living legend, too.
Throughout his career, Ambolley has demonstrated a remarkable ability to blend diverse musical influences. During his time working with Agogo Records since 2017, Ambolley has continued to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.
