One person without soul don´t feel the groove

[TheAbitube]

I think the Zumba dancers can make use of this song.

[ourpeoples]

This tune should be used in physical therapy; no matter how lifeless, some body part of yours will be tapping . . . I hope you tap with you right body part though, lol. Muy classique!

[SkyLineDnB]

Ghana Highlife....

[hotcocuk]

Gnarls Barcley samples this song in Storm Coming

[viacom777]

just heard this guy right now for the first time. amazing.

[bendelite]

@ ourpeoples - Then look into it...this particular sound is definitely, majorly tinged with all the hallmarks of Fela's Afrobeat, not highlife!

When countless international artists, pay tribute to his style of music, it swiftly becomes apparent, that his influence stretches far and wide.

Besides, my initial comments express no hate, but there's nothing wrong in pointing out simple facts.

Check out any of Fela's earlier tracks, like Chop and Quench or Lady, from the late 60's to the Mid 70's.

[ourpeoples]

@bendelite You must not understand Highlife nor Afrobeat too well, no disrespect intended. Highlife is more of a consciousness or state of mind than it is a genre. But all labelling aside, I agree with you on the reach of Fela's influence. My question to you is: who/what influenced his style or doctrine? Fela's Afrobeat is a confluence of ideas, passions and causes many of which were incubated during his study in Ghana. Read this: wikipedia's piece on Fela

Sway is not fact

[bendelite]

Not to take anything away from this jam, but the similarities with any of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's songs, just can't be ignored...that being said, it's still a nice number!

[ourpeoples]

@bendelite Really? Which song? This is totally worth looking into. I hope you're not playing hater though . . .

[NappyRoot]

when u listen to the lyrics you can feel the heartbreak. the sweetest heartbreak song ever.

[crrackbabay69]

GHANA 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

[kronophiia]

anyone knows the meaning of the lyrics?

[hiprichhiprich]

This is the definition of great music.

[olivier1240]

Greatings from Paris!

Best of the best, I love this music.

I' m looking for a ghanaian church song, by Lydia and Joe : "i am glad"...

Where can I get it ?

[electricthunderstorm]

simply awesome.

gnarls barkley sampled it for 'storm coming'

[bmoreheyab]

When I listen to this, I wanna jump, shout, pump my fist, make love, kiss the sun, laugh out laud, etc.. This music makes me high on life. Thank you for sharing!.

[yaayaaoheneba]

GHANAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!

[arkundergroove]

Real pleasure to discover it !

Is it possible to let me know what "style" or " music category" that artist does ?

AFROBRAZILERO

[krabbli]

what is the meaning of "KyenKyen Bi Adi Mawu" ? can anyone translate?

[TheAhenematv]

it basically means, someone have betrayed me or deceived me.....

in the case of this song, he was betrayed by a woman whom, he loved.

[ugccdrum]

[ashantivibes]

This is a real delight

[imazirin]

NEED THE ORIGINAL LP ? ask AFROBRAZILERO !!!!!

[scudie1]

Nobody seems to know where the ramblers international dance band are. Why???? I'm challenging my beloved ghanians to find them and place them on youtube.

[summersunt]

I have one of their albums, there is a kinda mix on youtube with ramblers music included but that's all I have found.

[scudie1]

Thanks alot but is there any remote possibility of finding it on youtube. Pls reply asap.

[summersunt]

/watch?v=_Lf3d_MAj7Q

This is the link. If you can't access it do a search for "Classic High life 2" on youtube. I think this is the song - I have one of their albums but I am currently away from home, when I managed to get hold of it I will find out how to upload it if possible.

[summersunt]

....ALSO

this song is not ramblers international, but you might like it. I have told Groovemonzter about Ramblers international. You should subscribe to him because he might post some, he is not african but he really likes high life and does his best to post music

[kwakutheghanaian]

TOO CLASSIC FOR UTUBE

[eyesea]

[Ezyasnos]

@kwakutheghanaian But without Youtube I would never have discovered this :S

[devildog6773]

This is true blackness. Aww, brings lot of memories. Music made with local materials, pure and raw talent is the lifeblood of African music. Oh, I'm touched.
