  • Ghanaian Highlife Sound Recordings of the 1970S: the Legacy of Francis Kwakye and the Ghana Film Studio

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.

  • Testing Traditional Land Divisions on Rapa Nui
    Martinsson-Wallin and Wallin: Studies in Global Archaeology no. 20 SPATIAL PERSPECTIVES ON CEREMONIAL COMPLEXES: TESTING TRADITIONAL LAND DIVISIONS ON RAPA NUI Helene Martinsson-Wallin and Paul Wallin Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University, Campus Gotland, Sweden [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: The ceremonial sites of Rapa Nui, the ahu, are complex structures that incorporate and display a variety of distinctions and social relationships tied to different land areas that belonged to senior and junior groups. Such distinctions will be analysed via a Correspondence Analysis using selected ahu structures and connected variables. A detailed case study of two ahu in the La Perouse area will focus on the organisation of the variety of prehistoric material expressions connected to these. The aim is to show how habitus works in a local context at the individual organizational level. Through these studies we highlight the complex relationships involved in creating a milieu, in which actors of different groups carry out their practices when creating monuments and organising place. INTRODUCTION Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is geographically the most isolated island in the world (Figure 1). Yet it was found and populated by Polynesian seafarers in prehistoric times (Martinsson-Wallin and Crockford 2002: 256). Prior to archaeological investigations there were several ideas, generally based on genealogies, about when and by whom the island was originally settled. Since there are several versions of genealogical accounts, and their chronological reliability is uncertain, these traditions are difficult to use when discussing temporal issues (Martinsson-Wallin 1994: 76).

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • French Pop Music Remakes in Turkey
    French pop music remakes in Turkey A cognitive semiotic inquiry into cultural transfer Azize Güneş Supervisor: Göran Sonesson Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University MA in Languages and Literature, Cognitive Semiotics SPVR01 Languages and Linguistics: Degree Project – Master’s (Two years) Thesis, 30 credits May 2017 Abstract In this thesis, the importation, transformation and distribution of French popular music in Turkey during the 20th century have been investigated as a case study of cultural transfer. By using theories and methods within a cognitive semiotic framework, this study provides an overview of the phenomenon of French pop music remakes in Turkey by accounting for the initial situation of communication of remade pop music through recorded materials, and by providing an analysis of the changes made to the songs when transformed from French to Turkish, as well as the linguistic meanings that were made available to the Turkish public in this process. Meaning making procedures in connection to pop music have been considered by analyzing components of pop music, the cognitive capacities of human beings to understand pop music, and procedures of cultural communication enabling the integration of new artefacts in a culture. According to the results of this thesis, 160 Turkish language remakes of songs originally performed in French have been produced and distributed in Turkey between 1961- 1991. The most concentrated period of production occurred during a 10-year period between 1967-1977, with a considerable peak in 1968-1969. Of the songs produced during the peak of 1968-1969, 25% account for the original French song lyrics either as “song translations” or “adaptations” of their original French versions, transferring linguistic meanings to the Turkish target culture.

  • Yaa Amponsah and the Rhythm at the Heart of West African Guitar
    “You can’t run away from it! The melody will always appear!” Yaa Amponsah and the Rhythm at the Heart of West African Guitar A thesis submitted by Nathaniel C. Braddock in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music Tufts University August 2020 Adviser: Jeffrey Summit © 2020, Nathaniel C. Braddock Abstract The song “Yaa Amponsah” is held by Ghanaian musicians as the key to all highlife music. However, Amponsah occupies two spaces: that of a specific song with folkloric and historical origin stories, and that of a compositional form—or “Rhythm”—from which countless variations have evolved over the past century. This thesis seeks to define Amponsah as a style where certain characteristics are not always clear but are continually present and recognizable cross-nationally. Using musical analysis and ethnographic interviews with West African guitarists, I explore the movement of Amponsah across generations and national boundaries, drawing larger conclusions that have implications for understanding the transmission of cultural practice and embedded cultural memory carried within a specific musical expression. The Rhythm makes impactful appearances in the music of neighboring countries, becoming entwined with the Mami Wata myth, further complicating our understanding of ownership and origin, and bringing this song to the center of a debate regarding ownership of folkloric intellectual property and the relationship between developing nations and global capital. i Acknowledgements My journey has been supported by numerous people, and I wish now to salute their love, friendship, and guidance.
