C.K. Mann

C.k. Mann is a guitarist originally hailing from Moses Kweku Oppong's band Kakaiku in the 1960s. In the '70s, Mann left Oppong and began his own band, Carousel Seven, in which he began composing his own songs and holding a basic osode beat with a solo guitar. The outcome of this combination was a mildly melancholy sound which was quite popular on the Ghanaian West Coast market. The rootsy sound that he had created, however, began to dilute under commercial success and by the mid-'80s, Mann had more or less retired and moved to Canada. ~ Adam Greenberg, Rovi
