Commercial break

Highlife not only comes in obscure records, there's obscure cd's too!
By obscure i mean: not available in a regular music (web-) shop, but only specialized Ghanaian music shops. Typical Ghanaian: they like to keep things in their own hands.
I'd like to present a couple of favourites:
First the best of Canadoes International Band













Canadoes - Enowaa ko hene
(what about those tulips! a Dutch-Ghanaian production)
Then Opambuo Internationals













Opambuo - Kai kai

And lastly Yamoah's Band












Yamoah's - Abotare
Four volumes in all, the sound quality is sometimes poor, but the music is allways great!

True to the trend...the worse the cover art, the better the music. Nice selections
