Pat Thomas Praises Uncle Ebo Taylor, Says He Taught Him a lot As A Musician Legendary

 

Legendary Ghanaian vocalist cum songwriter, Nana Kwabena Amo Mensah, popularly known as Pat Thomas, has revealed that he has learnt a lot of things as a musician from  Uncle Ebo Taylor, a Ghanaian guitarist and band leader whom he has collaborated with in the past.    

Speaking during an interview on  3FM Drive, the ‘Sika y3 Mogya’ hitmaker disclosed that, the renowned record producer was a teacher to him, emphasizing that had taught him quite a number of things.

According to him, it was Ebo Taylor that pushed him to write music. He explained saying;

“Uncle Ebo is my boss. He taught me so many things. My guitar improvement came from him. He encouraged me to write music: to write my own song. When we were together, he’ll write the sound and tell me to sing anything I want. Sometimes, he’ll even give me a title and ask me to write it.”   

The veteran crooner further advised artists  who wanted to last in the music industry to show respect to all and put effort into whatever they studied. He noted that “The first thing they have to learn and know is respect. Respect is the most important; one thing that you should be in your life. In whatever you want to do, you should let respect be the first thing whether young or old.  Also, whatever you are learning, learn it properly and make sure that you are getting it the way you want,”

Pat’s voice and  Ebo’s guitar came together for their 1984 self-titled album, Pat Thomas and Ebo Taylor. The sound earned them positive acclaim all over the world for its danceable tunes and spiritual lyrics. It’s also been described as an album that has the ‘heart and soul of Ghana’ by many music pundits.
