Pat Thomas

1926 fans

Nacido como Kwabena Nyamekye Amoo-Mensah en Agona (Ghana) el 14 de agosto de 1946, el cantante y compositor de highlife/afrobeat es más conocido por su nombre artístico, Pat Thomas. Nacido en una familia de músicos, su tío era el guitarrista King Onyina, conocido por su trabajo con Nat King Cole. De adolescente, estudió guitarra y batería, al tiempo que componía su propio material. En 1971, se unió al grupo de highlife de Ebo Taylor, los Blue Monks. Tras dos años con Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas dejó la banda en 1973 y se trasladó a Costa de Marfil. Formó su propia banda, Sweet Beans, y grabó su álbum de debut, False Lover (1974). Le siguieron los álbumes Stage Two, Stay There y Pat Thomas Introduces Marijata(1976). En 1978 recibió el premio Mr. Golden Voice of Africa. Siguió grabando varios álbumes en Ghana antes de abandonar el país en 1982 y trasladarse a Londres (Inglaterra). En colaboración con su antiguo jefe, Ebo Taylor, el dúo grabó un trío de álbumes bien recibidos a principios de la década de 1980, junto con sus propios lanzamientos en solitario. Pasó cinco años de gira por Europa antes de trasladarse a Canadá en 1990. Aunque su álbum de 1991, Sika Ye Mogya, ganó el Premio al Álbum del Año en Ghana, dejó aparcada su carrera discográfica y se centró en la enseñanza durante el resto de la década de 1990. En 2000, Pat Thomas regresó a Ghana, donde siguió enseñando y reanudó su carrera discográfica y sus giras.
