Hailing from El Cerrito, CA, West African Highlife Band is an all-star group of distinguished West African music veterans who bring the classic sounds from highlife’s golden age. Originating in Ghana in the late 19th century, highlife is a fusion of indigenous dance rhythms and melodies with Western sounds. The style spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and nearby areas in the 1920s and ’30s, and was flourishing throughout West Africa by the 1950s and ’60s.
