Review

Like New condition, includes original CD, case and papers, fast shipping! :DLong regarded as a classic highlife album since its original release in 1978, Highlife Safari retains its vigor and immediacy to this day. Ghanaian highlife music is a sweet, melodic dance music; Eric Agweman began playing in 1963, slowly developing a new form called sikyi, utilizing Ashanti rhythms and traditional song medleys and the minor chords of the earlier "palm wine" style but upgraded with modern instruments and some Congolese soukous guitar licks replacing highlife's more usual horn arrangements. The resulting extended grooves have delighted party goers ever since, and these six long tracks show why; ringing guitars, swaying bass lines, and occasional stabbing horns make this a dance-floor staple even today. Also included is a rare track from Agyemen's partnership with the Korroko Band in the mid-1980s. --Derek Rath
