C K Mann & His Carousel 7 Partytime With Cee Kay Osode Medley

Born Charles Kofi Amankwaa Mann in Cape Coast, Ghana, he sang some well-known songs in Ghana, including Party Time With Cee Kay (Osode Melody), Mato Aboa, Nyimpa Rebre, Mede Me Ho Bema Nyame, Adwoa Yankey, Medo Wo, Araba Lucy, Mbere Papa’ and many more. Mann was a member of several bands including the Kakaiku Band and Ocean Strings and The Carousel 7. His breakthrough came in 1969 with the song ‘Edina Benya’. The song attracted his compatriots enough for Mann to become a popular figure entering into the seventies. His last album, Wope Nyeho, was released in 2013. Mann is credited with bringing Osode, the music of Ghana’s fishermen, to the mainstream. He is said to have altered the instrumentation, adding guitars, bass and the organ to the traditional claps and its call and response style. As a member of Carousel 7, Mann got another Ghanaian great Papa Yankson into the band. Incidentally, the two men passed on within months of each other, as Papa Yankson died in July last year. Mann lived long enough to be rewarded by the Ghanaian government for his contribution to the culture scene. Twelve years ago, he was awarded the Grand Medal of Ghana during the 2006 National Honours and Awards Ceremony. May His Gentle Soul Rest In Perfect Peace!!!
