▓████▓▌ In Ghana and Nigeria, highlife was one of the main ▓▌
▓████▓▌ popular musics of the 20th century, made for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dancing. While this collection doesn't reach back ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to the very early days of highlife, it does cover a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fair number of classic artists, including the great ▓▌
▓████▓▌ E.T. Mensah, acknowledged as the King of Highlife. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Joe Mensah (no relation), offers a jazzier take on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ highlife with the lengthy "Bosoe." While ▓▌
▓████▓▌ essentially guitar music, saxophone is often ▓▌
▓████▓▌ featured, as in Celestine Ukwu's "Igede." The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ incessant groove swirls all through these tracks, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ about the only common denominator between the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pieces and the times. Unfortunately, no dates are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ given for the tracks, with the exception of George ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Darko's "Hilife Time" from the '80s, where the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rigid drum machine and keyboard work against the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ flow of the music rather than with it; this needs a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ human touch to make it real. More than half the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tracks here are unavailable on either vinyl or CD, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ making this a treasure trove for anyone remotely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interested in the percolating music. And the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ excellent sleeve notes give a short history of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ style. Chris Nickson ▓▌
