Soundway reissues Free Youth's long sought-after 1985 single We Can Move, their only release. "We Can Move" is the first known iteration of Ghanaian hip hop, emerging at the dawn of "hip-life" (hip hop meets highlife). "We Can Move" is a blend of hip-hop and Afro-funk with a proto disco-boogie beat, punchy trumpet riffs and melodic rapping. This Soundway reissue includes an exclusive instrumental cover version of "We Can Move" from Welsh ensemble, Drymbago. This replaces the original B side track "Freedom Video Centre", which was an advertising jingle for a business associated with their former producer. Restored and remastered.

"We Can Move" by Free Youth is a rare and highly sought-after Vinyl Maxi single, reissued by Soundway / Indigo. Originally released in the early 1980s, this Ghanaian disco-funk gem captures the infectious energy of West African dance music blended with global funk influences. The track stands out for its groovy basslines, vibrant brass sections, and uplifting vocals that invite listeners to move and celebrate life. Free Youth were pioneers in fusing traditional Ghanaian rhythms with contemporary sounds of their era, leaving an indelible mark on the Afro-disco scene despite their brief activity. Their work has been rediscovered by collectors and DJs worldwide as a prime example of cross-cultural musical innovation. Soundway Records is renowned for unearthing lost treasures from around the globe, specializing in high-quality reissues that bring forgotten classics back into circulation.
