    Denise Ama Ghartey Global Studies Final Project Friday, May 14, 2010 Annotated Bibliography Abrahams, Shaheen Ariefdien and Nazli. "Cape Flats Alchemy Hip­Hop in South Africa ." In Total chaos , edited by Jeff Chang. New York , NY: BasicCivitas, 2006. The woman who wrote this article is a native of South Africa. This is where she grew up and where she has loyalties to, although she doesn’t talk much about herself in South Africa she goes through a detailed history of all the political and governmental injustices that colored and African people have to struggle through in South Africa in the time of Apartheid. She says that “…hip hop is about seeing something in what we are often told is nothing.” This is why Hip‐Hop started here in North America as well which is very compelling that this music still has this meaning in other places and has travelled so many miles and has still kept to what has originally set out to accomplish. There is a lot of talking about how the Coloureds (a creolized group in South Africa) were the first group of people to accept Hip Hop. They were from working class families and couldn’t afford to listen to something’s, unlike some of the Black families that were living in South Africa under the apartheid government. It is also said in this book that because of Hip‐Hop more people were able to accept, become more acquainted with and use President Biko’s, Black Consciousness movement more. In modern South African Hip‐ Hop it is frowned upon by many people to rap in English because that is the language of their oppressor so many choose to rap in other tribal languages.

  • HIPLIFE MUSIC in GHANA: ITS EVOLUTION and WESTERNISATION Nana Osei Bonsu M.Ed. IT Student, College of Distance Education, Unive
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume X, No. 10.4 Quarter IV 2019 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 HIPLIFE MUSIC IN GHANA: ITS EVOLUTION AND WESTERNISATION Nana Osei Bonsu M.Ed. IT Student, College of Distance Education, University of Cape Coast, Ghana Samuel Kofi Adjepong MPhil Candidate, Institute for Educational Planning and Administration, University of Cape Coast, Ghana ABSTRACT Music is an indispensable aspect of African culture; hence, music permeates in all aspect of African lives i.e. festivals, ceremonies, rituals, music and entertainments. In Ghana, highlife and hiplife music are the two most popular music genres. Hiplife which evolved in the twentieth century is a fusion of highlife and hip hop. This study discusses the evolution of hiplife music genre. It also establishes that although hiplife has western elements in its formation and evolution, those elements have been indigenised, decolonised and Africanised and thus could be said to be African music. Furthermore, this study posits that there has been progressive westernisation of Ghanaian hiplife music and musicians; this westernisation is evident in the stage names, music video concept, costume and music video location of hiplife musicians in Ghana. Key Words: Hiplife, Highlife, Ghana Music, Evolution, Indigenisation, westernisation, Introduction Music is an important element of human culture, and every culture that exists in human history has a form of music. Thus, music is inseparable from culture. Over the years, scholars have defined music in their own perspective. Levinson (1990:273) defines music as ‘sounds temporally organised by a person for the purpose of enriching or intensifying experience through active engagement (e.g.

  • The Textuality of Contemporary Hiplife Lyrics
    THE TEXTUALITY OF CONTEMPORARY HIPLIFE LYRICS by PETER ARTHUR A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre of West African Studies School of History and Cultures University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham, B15 2TT University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This research looks at the textuality of hiplife - the Ghanaian version of hip hop - by investigating the hiplife discursive and non discursive practices. The thesis of this research is that hiplife provides the platform for self expression or a new culture for the Ghanaian youth. This ethnography of hiplife covers two main areas of investigation: hiplife as a syncretic and a protest culture. Chapter one presents the background and research design of the study while chapter two provides a broad scholarly exploration of hiplife, taking into account the history and culture of hiplife against the background of African hip hop literature. Chapter three explores the cultural production of hiplife while chapter four investigates the very core of hiplife rap, its oral rhythmic production. In chapter five, the hiplife culture, like all hip hop cultures, seeks to redefine the Ghanaian normative moral grounds.
