groovemonzter, I am expecting you to post OKO AGYEMAN & ASHANTI BROTHERS (Love). I trust u can do this. Bless u.

[groovemonzter]

@igbos27 - By any chance are you thinking of OSEI VASCO & ASHANTI BROTHERS?

[Outreachat]

The musicians are Ghanaians, from Ghana and not Nigeria.

[groovemonzter]

I know.  I learned that after I made the video. But hey, music is universal... Maybe I'll remake the video when I come back. Great song though. Ghana Highlife is strong.

[Outreachat]

Glad to hear you have the correct info. Of course Ghanaian highlife is the highlife, or so the traditionalists would say. Ghanaian music is generally fine, aided by the unique vocalization in some of their major languages. I call them the "twitters" particularly of Akan, which make music come out so fine. Too bad Ghanaians do not seem as committed to retrieving their musical past on youtube as many of us Nigerians are. I may be wrong, of course. I do hope I am!

[korasol]

Folks, you can deny a Nigerian food but dont deny him any of this Ghanaian highlife music or he will not be happy with you,

I went around looking for some oldies and I didnt find the ones I like, remember the city boys and okukuseku etc.

Anyone have some? pls make me jolly.

Highlife na highlife, whether Ghanaian or Nigerian.

Pls can somebody give us the english translation

The instrumentalists of 1968-1974 of this band were second to none in Ghana...Snr Eddie Donkor (RIP) on 1st rhythm guitar, Appenteng (RIP) on 2nd rhythm, Nana himself on the lead guitar, Joe Dee (RIP) on Bass, Lawyer Boateng (RIP) on drums, PK Asare on congas. This was a remix of one of their greatest hits that catapulted African Brothers into stardom in 1967-68

@awaki11: Way to go! The only way to go!

[Outreachat]

@WORLDxSTAR: I must have wanted to write "tweeters", as in those fine filters that bring out the refined treble sound in electrronic speakers and amplifiers. Ghanaian languages are remarkable for their sharp aspirations, and each time I listen to them I have a sense of fine-tuning a knob on an amplifier for the most refined sound a speaker can produce. African languages are generally remarkable for that; try Lingala, Hausa, the language clusters in the Futa Djallon area of West Africa and see!

[awaki11]

@Outreachat I am a Ghanaian and I think your right. But we are coming in full force soon.

[Kbaahca]

I use to hear this song during funerals services in Ghana. Sad tune

[WORLDxSTAR]

@Outreachat Hey, just curious, but why do you call them the 'twitters'? :) Has it anything to do with that social network?

[elegance212]

@Outreachat oh yeah, u are wrong. i'm a 16 year old ghanaian, and i really do appreciate our highlife. My dad plays it during supper time almost everyday. and a ghanaian party won't be complete without our highlife. so yea, we do appreciate our music. and i'm glad you like our music too.

groovemonzter this is great but-can you load up a couple more tunes from the Afrcan brothers- e.g their version of yaa amponsah (which I believe s on this same album), and also anotehr one called obib broke. Two phat tunes.

[Karolina3204]

awesome tune
