MUSIC

Ghana has a very rich musical history which reflects the rich traditions and cultures of its people. Its musical history can be traced back many centuries when all West African music styles began to blend together, but "Highlife" was Ghana’s first specific genre of music.  The sound, of which there were a few variations, generally combined multiple guitar rhythms with a brass band backing, as well as various percussion instruments.https://www.modernghana.com/music/9709/history-of-gh-music.html and ww.acad.depauw.edu
