Avant d'être un automate cellulaire bidimensionnel, le High-Life est avant tout un style musical
apparu dans les années 20 en Afrique occidentale (Nigéria, Ghana, Sierra Leone...).

Une mixture "Vaudouïsante" où le Jazz (forte présence des instruments à vents ) croise le Cha-Cha, le Foxtrott, le Waltz, le Calypso et la Rumba; le tout envouté par les percussions Africaines, et les guitares décisives et décidées.

"Bokazo" is a heavy and pulsing journey into Ghana mixed with deeper modern dancefloor vibes.

Taken from the "Mystery Trip Vol. 1" ltd edition cassette tape dropping on Bastard Jazz in mid-September.

“KonKoma is the name of a tribe in Northern Ghana. They are very colorful and the rhythms are wonderful. This band is like a live rebirth of Ghana’s music from the 70s and 80s, it feels like very authentic and rhythmic Ghanaian music.” Alfred ‘Kari’ Bannerman

"Yaa Amponsah" is one of the oldest Highlife standards, with recordings dating back to the late 1920's. With lyrics praising the beauty of a woman, the song has remained a popular in the repertoire of Ghanaian artists throughout the last century. It fits then that modern Highlife master Ebo Taylor chose to perform the song on his latest album, the deeply personal Appia Kwa Bridge. With two complementary plucked guitar lines, the song is one of the most restrained yet disarming tracks on the album. Appia Kwa Bridge comes out in April on Strut Records.
