HighLife by Pearls Cab Ride
Highlife is a music genre that originated in present-day Ghana early in the 20th century, during its history as a colony of the British Empire. It uses the melodic and main rhythmic structures of traditional Akan music, but is played with Western instruments.
Highlife is characterised by jazzy horns and multiple guitars which lead the band. Recently it has acquired an uptempo, synth-driven sound.
Highlife gained popularity among the Igbo people of Nigeria following World War II, becoming the country's most popular music genre in the 1960s.
