Event Description

Highlife Music was one of the first African musics to take influences from American Sounds. In the 1920’s as urban areas in West Africa grew, Jazz, and Big Band arrangements fused with local Palm Wine and acoustic musics, and also mixed with Calypso, Cuban Son, and other musics from overseas. It was fun, uplifting music in the spirit of good times.

These such fusions continue on through to today, and it is in that spirit of mixing and good times, a group of folks have come together to bring you The Highlife.
