Meet the recording
A complete 2-minute-40-second highlife dance-band record preserved by the International Library of African Music. Hear the dance rhythm and popular ensemble textures; this is a new listening selection by E. T. Mensah, not the earlier Manhyia Tete Nwomkoro recording.
What might you notice?
Listen for a sound or moment that catches your attention—a rhythm, a voice, an instrument, a change in texture, or something unexpected. You do not need technical terms or a correct answer.
