Highlife
The guitar showed up at sunset and the club was never the same.
Highlife is a style from the The Party That Never Ends family. 115 BPM, Weirdness 18, Style Influence 94.
Interlocking guitars and soft brass steeped in palm-wine tradition. Highlife, the Ghanaian genre rooted in West African dance elegance, is golden, joyful, and irresistibly warm.

Sample excerpt
Mi abuelo tocaba guitarra en una banda de bodas y decía que la música se paga con comida. Nunca tuvo disco ni tuvo contrato, pero todo el pueblo sabía su nombre.
Y eso también es haber llegado, que alguien te reconozca en el mercado. No todos los éxitos suenan en la radio, algunos suenan en la memoria del pueblo.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito, luminosa. El highlife es guitarra alegre con letra sabia: mezcla anécdota y proverbio. A 115 BPM las líneas de guitarra dejan huecos regulares; escribe versos de siete sílabas.
