    Even the great Fela Kuti lived and played in Ghana in the late 1960s and started cultivating own unique his style there. Fela was a great admirer of Kwame Nkruma and even released a Twi song "fefe na fe". Nigerians and Ghanaians are one people, brothers separated by man made boundaries.

    In my secondary school days, i had a friend whose dad lived in Ghana.
    His dad came back to Nigeria and was always listening to GH highlife music.
    My friend fell in love with his dad's Taste of music, he then passed it to while we were in secondary school.
    Today I'm also a fan of GH highlife.
    I love GHANA people !

    This mix of old-school Ghanaian highlife music 🎶 reminds me of my uncle in person of Mr. Joseph Sijleh Monbo, cka Joe van Black of Brussels, Belgium. He would always play this kind of music 🎶 whenever he's on vacation in Africa. Uncle Joe, you are my favorite uncle mehn....😂😅🥱 Love, Peace and Respect

      The Caribbean flavor is definitely included in the Highlife sound. However, it was the Caribbeans that brought it to Africa during the back to Africa movement of the 19th century. Surely the drumming and grooves is of African origin. It's incredible music and difficulty to not dance to it. After the rise of jazz and Louis Armstrong worldwide fame, many musicians wanted to play the trumpet and become a bandleader. Give thanks and praise.

    I was born by a woman with Ghanaian ancestry. My mom was born in Ghana along with her seven siblings. Specifically she was born in Jamestown, Accra although she's a Liberian particularly from the Kru ethnic background. Her both parents were Kru. I'm also a Liberian, born and grew up on Bushrod Island in Monrovia, specifically the Municipal Borough of New Kru Town. My taste for Ghanaian highlife music started way back in the 80s,l always listened to it and ate traditional Ghanaian dishes before I even went to Ghana. Thanks 👍💪 . Keep it up brother

      It's both / and, which is African. Not either / or, which is European.
      Sadly, Caribbeans were recruited to fight in the British war against the Ashanti.
      Happily, Caribbeans and Ghanaians got together and Caribbeans showed them how they had developed those old African beats.
      This developed into Highlife.
      We Africans are so creative. 💕

    I found out about highlife reading a wikipedia article on Johnny Marr. The article listed highlife as one of the inspirations for his guitar playing style with the Smiths (listen to This Charming man after this comp it clicks immediately). This was the first comp I found when I looked up the term and I've been hooked since. It is so layered and polyrhythmic. The first track - the musicians sound like they are playing in different rooms and can't hear each other, fiddling around on their instruments and playing little group of notes here and there as they please. Reminds me of the Velvet Underground in that way. Even the vocalist sounds more like he's having an enthusiastic conversation over coffee than fronting a band. And is there an organ that sounds like carousel music in there somewhere? But it all comes together cohesively to deliver a mood. It's perfect.
