*1977 · No. 6 in [Afrobeat](https://waxonia.com/genre/afrobeat/)*

Ghana's answer, and a reminder that highlife was never only Nigeria's inheritance. Taylor's guitar is looser and jazzier than Lagos allowed, and the record swings where Fela's marched.

*1977 · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — One Subject](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-one-subject/)*

Ghana rather than Nigeria, and looser than anything Lagos allowed. Much of what reached Britain as afrobeat was highlife that nobody had bothered to distinguish.
