Odo Anigyina: E.T. Mensah

March 29, 2011

This is from an album called E.T. Mensah Day by Day, Classic Highlife Recordings of the 1950’s and 1960’s. When I was in Ghana, I loved watching couples dance to highlife music. In what was a ballroom dance, they had this wonderful rhythm.

Highlife emerged in the 20’s and is considered a major influence on all subsequent African Music. I can still remember sitting in a spot, an outside bar, listening and watching.
