    "comment": "Ghanian musician Rob gives us \"More\" on his 2011 album Funky Rob Way.\n\nIn 1977, a young Rob travelled to the city of Takoradi in western Ghana to approach an army band named Mag-2 whom he had seen perform in Accra. Mag-2 had an entire section of its ensemble dedicated to horns and some of the most sophisticated music equipment available in Ghana at the time - Hofner guitars, Yamaha keyboards and the like.\n\nMag-2 was essentially filled with the best elements of 'The Parrots,' a highlife band of which Amponsah was the lead guitarist. Mag-2 backed the Ghanaian sensation on two albums both of which were recorded at Essiebons studios in Accra. Despite Rob's training and musical education, Amponsah was responsible for the vast majority of the compositions, such as building the chord progression and arranging the horns that Rob craved. Rob would even wait for the Mag-2 maestro's cue to begin singing.",
