Ekow Alabi Savage believes he is really promoting Ghana and Africa in general as Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah tutored them as young pioneers.

He is a founding member of Roots Anabo fame which toured the world playing their brand of music they named "Sunlife."

The music comprised of jazz, highlife, funk, reggae, African traditional and its danceable.

Ghana has produced more than its four share of international stars, but one who has shone more brightly than any other for more than two decades now in the western world is Ekow Alabi Savage.

To those who know him, it is not surprising that Ghana music can describe him as "by far one of the best known Ghanaian musicians of his generation, the most notable music personality to emerge from the whole world music phenomenon to introduce "Sunlife Music."

Despite stiff opposition from his mum and grand mum, Ekow Alabi Savage was born as a gifted singer and has made music his career. Anchored by an album titled "Return to Zion", he is home to launch his album as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.

Ekow Alabi Savage is a Fanti, born in Takoradi on March 28, 1957 to the late Isaac Tercy Brown and Madam Adjoa Amoono.

He schooled in Accra in the ghetto of Abossey Okai, Kaneshie, Mataheko and hustled around Accra. He completed the Bishop Boys School, Bubuashie. After that he undertook a short course at the Kaneshie Technical College and went into full time music.

He is single but has four children, two boys and two girls. Ekow loves eating African dishes.

Asked how he learnt his music, Ekow Alabi Savage said he learnt it the hard way in the street and thanks to God hes been able to make it.

"I am a gifted musician by birth but my mum and grand mum didnt like the idea of me doing music so I had to run from school to go and play music, but now its a bit easier because musicians have the respect, and great properties and so on."

Asked if from day one, he knew he wanted to sing, Ekows answer was "I started singing from the first cry when I came out of my mums womb."

He started playing music as a drum roadie for Pat Thomas and D Sweet Beans before he was employed as a percussion player. He was by then also playing in a spiritual church Aladura.

He says he feels great to be one of the flagbearers in our field of entertainment (Education in Entertainment). "We need to teach the present now and the next generation through music because its a great language. I am always on tour with other artistes and this includes the Nigerian artiste, Ade Bantu (2005 Kora Award Winner) as a drummer.
