History

Burger-highlife is a strand of highlife made by Ghanaian immigrants in Germany. Its story starts in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when large numbers of Ghanaians, Seidu Mohammed among them, left for foreign countries and Germany became one of the places that drew them. At the same time reggae's worldwide rise was opening ears to other danceable world music, and highlife, often fused with reggae, found a wider audience in Europe and North America. The new style appeared when Ghanaian musicians in Germany began working with German musicians and producers and crossed highlife with disco and funk. The artists tied to it include George Darko, Lee Dodou, the Lumba Brothers, Rex Gyamfi and Charles Amoah. Today its history is gathered in a web project by the Goethe-Institut in Accra.
