Reebop Kwaku Baah is a percussionist who played at Eric Clapton’s “comeback” concerts at the Rainbow Theater in 1973. He can be heard on the live album released from those concerts.

Reebop is the only non-formative member of Traffic who remained in the band longer than Dave Mason. In 1971, he was living in Sweden. He jammed with Traffic on stage and joined them soon after. Following his days in Traffic, he joined Can (a German band) with Rosko Gee. Can released three albums, the last in 1979.

He died in the early 1980s.
