This Rough Guide is jam-packed with some of the biggest hitters in highlife history. Enjoy Victor Uwaifo's Nigerian joromi stylings, the gentle Ghanaian palm-wine of Koo Nimo, and even an early recording of Afrobeat superstar Fela Kuti presenting a firmly highlife vibe.

Bonus CD - Seprewa Kasa: Three virtuoso musicians have shared their ideas and passion to re-explore the traditional sounds of the seprewa and origins of highlife in an acoustic contemporary setting, with breathtaking results.
