This difference can be attributed partly to the advancement of recording technology, a shift from shellac to vinyl records as well as the advent of multi-track tape recorders in Ghana. The 1970s had a unique highlife sound that can be situated within and explained by the socio-cultural context of recording approaches embraced by studio engineers. This paper inves- tigates the technological approaches to the production of highlife songs at the Ghana Film Studio (GFS) and how they reshaped the highlife soundscape in the 1970s. It also draws attention to the influence of Francis Kwakye, the then resident recording engineer of GFS as a case study to explore highlife sound on records within this period. Employing document review, audio review, observations and interview for data collection, the paper reveals that the engineering techniques and tools employed on the recordings were socio-culturally influenced and constructed to resonate with the Ghanaian identity of the time.

Despite the presence of economic, social and political dilemma in the country, the business continues to strive. This paper, therefore, by presenting an in-depth knowledge of the industry exposes its potentials for growth and also highlights the prospects and challenges of operating fast food business in Nigeria. It goes further to identify and recommend the required skills needed by its emerging entrepreneurs to succeed in an environment such as Nigeria’s. Keywords: Fast food outlets, Franchise, Nutrition, Eateries, Nigeria. 1.0 Introduction Although, the concept of fast food retailing, also known as quick service restaurants evolved in Nigeria about 35 years ago by UAC, from the coffee shops of its Kingsway Departmental Stores, which later transformed into Kingsway Rendezvous, the organized fast food industry is fast emerging in the country. The industrial landscape has witnessed the influx of unprecedented numbers of fast food operators since the opening of the first fast food outlet in Nigeria, at Yaba, in 1986 by Mr.

British superstar Estelle is determined to steal the show and looks set to shine on the night after receiving 5 nominations for this year’s Awards. The Londoner has achieved huge acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic with her album Shine this year. She will take her place in a line up that also includes her American mentor, label manager and fellow megastar John Legend , who was introduced to Estelle by mutual friend Kanye West. Legend signed the British singer to his Hometown Records label and launched her into the musical stratosphere. For Legend, it is doubly satisfying for Estelle to be the hot favourite on the night, “I am so excited to be able to perform at MOBO and showcase some songs from my new album,” says Legend, “I am so happy that Estelle is nominated 5 times too! She is a huge talent and it has been great to be part of her story.” Legend’s own eagerly awaited new album, Evolver , is released in October and features Estelle, Kanye West and Andre 3000. Bridging the Atlantic is Londoner Taio Cruz , a player in the US music scene where he has written for Usher, Mya and Britney Spears and had his own career mentored by Dallas Austin.

  • Zwischen Hiplife Und Afrofunk | Norient.Com 5 Oct 2021 16:43:44
    Zwischen Hiplife und Afrofunk | norient.com 5 Oct 2021 16:43:44 Zwischen Hiplife und Afrofunk by Stefan Franzen Mit der aktuellen Afrofunk-Welle trifft auch die Musik aus dem Ghana der 1970er wieder ans europäische Ohr. Im Land selbst kümmern die alten Helden jedoch fast niemanden – dort regiert der Hiplife. Der Hybrid aus HipHop und lokalen Einflüssen hat eine kurze und schon jetzt wechselvolle Geschichte. Aus dem Norient-Buch Out of the Absurdity of Life (hier bestellbar). Es sind diese irren Melodien. Klebrig-süsse, synthetische Gesangslinien, die einem mehrstimmig aus jedem Soundsystem entgegen springen. Und die sich beim näheren Hinhören, bleibt man einmal auf den riesigen Märkten zwischen Körben voller schwarzer Schnecken, Bergen von Pfefferschoten und Stapeln von Musikkassetten stehen, als Geist in der Maschine entpuppen. Hier singt nicht nur ein Mensch, hier singt vor allem der Vocoder. Dazwischen: Schneller Rap, aus dem Fetzen von Pidgin English ragen, der aber meistens in einem fremden Idiom passiert. Darunter: plakative, programmierte Beats, sie pumpen komplexe, schnelle Rhythmen heraus. Doch es sind vor allem diese irren Melodien der Menschmaschine, die nicht mehr aus den Gehörgängen weichen wollen während der nächsten zwei Wochen. Und die schnell den Verdacht aufkommen lassen, dass Accra mehrere musikalische Realitäten besitzt. Diejenige, der man am wenigsten ausweichen kann, heisst Hiplife. https://norient.com/stories/ghana2011 Page 1 of 16 Zwischen Hiplife und Afrofunk | norient.com 5 Oct 2021 16:43:44 Die neue Afro-Quelle Trotzdem versuche ich das zunächst. Schliesslich bin ich für eine andere, europäische Vorstellung von ghanaischer Musik hergekommen. Die Eminenz des Afrofunk soll ich treffen, einen der Grossen der 1970er.

  • Redefining Ghanaian Highlife Music in Modern Times
    American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (AJHSSR) 2020 American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (AJHSSR) e-ISSN :2378-703X Volume-4, Issue-1, pp-18-29 www.ajhssr.com Research Paper Open Access Redefining Ghanaian Highlife Music in Modern Times Mark Millas Coffie (Department of Music Education/ University of Education, Winneba, Ghana) ABSTRACT: Highlife, Ghana's first and foremost acculturated popular dance music has been overstretched by practitioners and patrons to the extent that, presently, it is almost impossible to identify one distinctive trait in most of the modern-day recorded songs categorised as highlife. This paper examines the distinctive character traits of Ghana's highlife music, and also stimulates a discourse towards its redefinition for easy recognition and a better understanding in modern times. Employing document review, audio review, interviews, and descriptive analysis, the paper reveals that the instrumental structure, such as percussion, guitar, bass, and keyboard patterns, is key in categorising highlife songs. The paper, however, argues that categorising modern-day recorded highlife songs based on timeline rhythms and drum patterns alone can be confusing and deceptive. The paper, therefore, concludes that indigenous guitar styles such as the mainline, yaa amponsah, dagomba, sikyi, kwaw, ᴐdᴐnson among others should be the chief criterion in recognising and categorising modern-day recorded highlife songs. KEYWORDS: Category, Highlife, Modern-day, Recognition, Timeline rhythm, Indigenous guitar styles I. INTRODUCTION Highlife music, one of the oldest African popular music forms originated from the Anglophone West African countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. However, the term highlife was coined in Ghana around the 1920s (Collins, 1994).
