From 1959 until the late 1970s, he performed as Guy Warren of Ghana. He then became Kofi Ghanaba, although his name at birth had been Kpakpo Akwei. To this, his teacher father had added Warren Gamaliel Harding in honour of the then US president. At the 1960 Ghana jazz festival, he premiered his Voices of Africa drum suite. After a spiritual quest to Benares, India, in the early 1960s, he returned to London and played with the Jamaican saxophonist Joe Harriott before the producer Denis Preston recorded his solo drum suite, based on the drum music of Congo pygmies. After another London album with Rendell, he worked with the quintet co-led by Rendell and the trumpeter Ian Carr. In 1970, with his friend the former Cream drummer Ginger Baker, he performed his Accra schoolroom concert - the antithesis of stardom. Ghanaba's affection for western concert music re-emerged in 1986.
