Tracks list

Soundway presents a collection of 18 burger highlife, electronic Afrobeat and
reggae tracks, gatefold 3LP includes extended liner notes, original covers and
never-before-seen photos. Highlighting a time when the burgeoning Ghanaian
diaspora across Europe and North America was utilising new music technology and
recording techniques. A period of movement, emigration and innovation. The dawn
of the 80s saw an increase in emigration following a period of political
upheaval at home, with many Ghanaians moving to Europe - especially Germany - to
find work. Musicians recording both at home and abroad began to blend highlife
with outside influences, taking inspiration from US disco and boogie, European
new wave and Caribbean zouk and soca, reflecting new surroundings and cementing
musical connections forged in London, Hamburg, Toronto and New York. Ghana
Special celebrates this key period of musical innovation and cultural exchange
that redefined the parameters of Ghanaian music and accelerated the cultural
exchange between West Africa and Europe. Features rarities from legends
including Pat Thomas, Rex Gyamfi and Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and deep cuts from
lesser known artists like Abdul Raheem, Starlite and The Godfathers.
