Borga Revolution Ghanaian Music In The Digital Age 1984 1999 Vol. 3

Description

Burger Highlife. This innovative genre blends West African melodies with disco and synthesizers, conquering Ghanaian airwaves from the 1980s onward. After volumes praised by figures like Gilles Peterson and Hunee, this new release explores the Ghanaian digital dance music scene in greater depth. This volume brings together rare tracks from pioneers such as George Darko, Lee Dodou, Osei Banahene, and Okyerema Asante. It presents a mix of essential anthems and precious discoveries, often impossible to find today, making this compilation a must-have for collectors. In the 1970s and 1980s, Ghanaian musicians fused funk, disco, and highlife, opening up to international influences. This fusion was strengthened by artists who left Ghana for Europe and the United States, where they used technologies like the DX7 synthesizer to create the Burger Highlife genre. With Borga Revolution!, Kalita offers a vibrant immersion into this musical transformation, accompanied by interviews, archival photos, and detailed notes that pay tribute to these icons and innovators of the genre.
