George Darko - Highlife in the Air Region: Ghana (Eastern) / Style: Burger-highlife / Year: 1994 LIKED
Burger-Highlife is a form of Highlife music created by Ghanian immigrants to Germany in the late 1970s. The genre commonly employs synthesizers and western post-production techniques alongside guitar-driven highlife instrumentation. Coined by George Darko, the word 'burgher' originates from the German word for 'citizen'. Darko describes the genre as being more rhythmic and danceable than traditional Highlife, borrowing from Disco and especially Funk music. This approach to Highlife has been criticized by several Highlife producers for diluting its Ghanan influence due to its deep fascination with Western tastes
