| Ambolley's early years of musical interest dates back to the age of eight, when he began playing with his father's flute until he was able to teach himself how to play. His formal musical training came at the age of fourteen under the apprenticeship of "Uncle Bonku" who taught him the guitar. The young music enthusiast continued to learn the rudiments of music from the late' Sammy Lartey and Ebo Taylor. Ambolley says tradition is our culture and wisdom our tool. His cultural pride from Nana Nyame (The Creator), Mother Earth and the gift of music they gave him has given him a strong self of identity and sharing it with his brothers and sisters of Ghana, Africa and the world. Ambolley's name has become synonymous with Simigwa music and dance since his first hit single was released in 1973. Since that hit, he has lead many bands including his own in 1979-80. It has been said that "the genre of Ambolley's music is entertainingly elevating and spiritually inescapable, such that its uniqueness transcends all musical categories. AMBOLLEY'S music is for "ONE WORLD, ONE PEOPLE, ONE DESTINY." |
