Soundway reissues Free Youth's long sought-after 1985 single We Can Move, their only release. "We Can Move" is the first known iteration of Ghanaian hip hop, emerging at the dawn of "hip-life" (hip hop meets highlife). "We Can Move" is a blend of hip-hop and Afro-funk with a proto disco-boogie beat, punchy trumpet riffs and melodic rapping. This Soundway reissue includes an exclusive instrumental cover version of "We Can Move" from Welsh ensemble, Drymbago. This replaces the original B side track "Freedom Video Centre", which was an advertising jingle for a business associated with their former producer. Restored and remastered.
