Various Artists - Seven 7 Inches From Ghana (Global Groovers)

This is a compilation of highlife music from Ghana taken from the Global Groovers blog. I cannot reccomend this blog highly enough, it's a fantastic resource for anyone with an interest in world music, and the webmaster has taken the time to reupload a vast amount of his extensive collection despite the problems with file hosting services a couple of years ago.

There have been a number of compilations done on this website, including the Global Sampler volumes; however this is from the "Seven 7 Inches" series - there are a number of different ones from a variety of African nations. The Ghanaian highlife music seems to stand out a bit more compared to other kinds of highlife, however in my opinion the majority of music that falls into the afrobeats genre is worth investigating. :)

From the Global Groovers website:

"We had some from Kenya and from Colombia and Congo, today it is Ghana's turn to get a 'Seven 7" singles' compilation. I recently found some so here they are. ET Mensah's tracks are a bit noisy but the rest sounds fairly okay. Hope you like them, enjoy listening..."
