   Ranked No. 7 in 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

   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.
