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.

King Yeboah




I don't have much information on King Yeboah, but this song off his 1979 Onipa Nye release is first rate. It is an easy going song that stretches out over 8 minutes, but the downtempo pacing of the guitar playing and the pitch of the vocals really stand out for me. Check out the extended guitar solo around the 5 minute mark. I hope you like it.

    You are awsome!!!!! Thanks for this album. Another great group out of Ghana is the "City boys of Ghana" if you can please.

    God bless.

    I can look around for the city boys, but Niek over at http://highlifehaven.blogspot.com/ is the real fan of this band. Maybe he has some posts.

    I love the track. However, is it just me, or there really is no way of downloading the last few tracks you've posted?

    I appreciate the feedback. I have a service that embeds the tracks into my website. I did this because I was not comfortable, for copyright reasons, to continue posting the tracks as MP3's. I hope this does not diminishes your enjoyment of the music.
