Ghana Special: Modern Highlife, Afro Sounds 1968-1981

Interpreter: Various Artists
Label: Soundway Records
Location: Ghana

Rockin' Ghanaian highlife and Afro-soul from the heyday of the genre. The 'classic' period is defined as between the late Sixties and the early Eighties, and here you'll find heaps of obscure goodies unearthed during ten long years of preparatory research. The package comes with 2 CDs (or 5 x 12" vinyls) plus a 44 page booklet.
