Highlife

Ghana's century-old dance band sound

Hoog lewe is 'n dansmusiek van Wes-Afrika wat in die vroeë twintigste eeu in Ghana gevorm het, en sy sluit by Akan melodies en ritmiese tradisies aan by Westerse dans-bandinstrumente aan. Dit het een van die gevestigde gewilde musiek in die streek geword en het ' n groot deel gevorm van wat daarop gevolg het.

Origin & history

Highlife developed in coastal Ghana in the early 1900s, as brass-band and dance-band instrumentation met local Akan musical traditions.

It spread to Nigeria and across West Africa through the mid-century, and its guitar styles and horn arrangements run underneath a great deal of later West African popular music, Afrobeats included.
