Welcome to the Highlifeturntable. The purpose of this blog is to provide a way for people to listen to rare highlife music from Ghana and Nigeria. I plan to post tracks from my private collection along with a little commentary on what I know about the artist and what I like about the LP.

Zakry Noel - Croucrou Zedigba (Mystery solved!)
















One of my listeners solved the mystery and tells me the singer is Zacry Noel, the style digba (typical Bété rythm) and the song title : Croucrou Zedigba, which means big tears.

I have another mystery track I need help identifying.  I purchased a white label test pressing off ebay and there was no information on the record except the partial words: echante ours.  I've been told it is Ernesto DjeDje.   I really like the song: the vocals are punchy, there is some fatty horn work, a few good guitar lines and a blazing drum solo around the 4 minute mark.  Can anyone identify the song? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
