## What 2 lists say

### No. 7 in [Highlife](https://waxonia.com/genre/highlife/)

Ghanaian and Caribbean musicians in London, making highlife that charted in Britain without diluting the percussion. The diaspora version, and a very good one.

### Picked by [1976](https://waxonia.com/theme/nineteen-seventy-six/)

Ghanaian musicians in London making a record that got played on daytime radio without softening what it was. Included because the traffic went both ways in 1976, and this is the year's best evidence of it.
