Description
Compiled by Out Here Records Georg Milz (also of the Munich-based Daladala Soundz sound system), this album presents some of the most popular hiplife artists to the rest of the world. Ghana is free forever - these were the words of Kwame Nkrumah, the first elected president of the former Gold Coast, on the 6th of March 1957 when Ghana became the first African country to gain independence from colonial rule. Today, more than 50 years later, Ghana is known to be one of the most peaceful and stable countries in Africa, host to the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations and attracting thousands of tourists each year. However today's Ghana s youth are no longer dancing to highlife that was popular back in the '70s, but to hiplife, the local mix of hip-hop, highlife, reggae and dancehall. Hiplife gained prominence about 10 years ago with Reggie Rockstone, who is known as the Godfather of Hiplife and was the first to rap in Twi, the most common language in Ghana. Hiplife is everywhere in Ghana now; it has developed into one of the most popular music styles in the country and the scene has also broadened into several sub-genres. To be advertised in Songlines.
