After receiving regional praise for his 1976 debut Abrabo, Dan Boadi set his sights on leaving Ghana and bringing his highlife sensibilities to an American audience. Recorded at Paul Serranos namesake studio on E. 23rd St. in Chicago, Boadis U.S. debut showcased the true scope of his musical range; weaving in and out of funk, highlife, afrobeat, and reggae. The title track immediately demands the listeners attention with a chugging drum lead by The African Internationals King Tuch, setting the pace for Boadis colorful orchestration to follow. Money Is The Root of Evil claims its own space as a musical melting pot and reflects the excitement Boadi was learning to harness as a musician in his newfound home of Chicago.
