Dan Boadi is a Ghanaian singer and musician born in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. He had the ambition to win over an American audience and therefore moved to Chicago, IL, in the latter half of the 1970s.
After receiving regional praise for his 1976 début 'Abrabo', Boadi set his sights on leaving Ghana and bringing his highlife sensibilities to an American audience. Recorded at Paul Serrano’s namesake studio on E. 23rd St. in Chicago, Boadi’s U.S. début, 'Money Is the Root of Evil', showcased the true scope of his musical range; weaving in and out of funk, highlife, afrobeat, and reggae. The title track immediately demands the listener’s attention with a chugging drum lead by The African International’s King Tuch, setting the pace for Boadi’s colorful orchestration to follow. With this record Boadi claimed his own space. It reflects the excitement Boadi was learning to harness as a musician in his newfound home of Chicago.
Dan Boadi has released music with various groups, including: Dan Boadi And The African Internationals and Samdan's 8. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
