    How am I Ghanaian and I haven't heard this before. Going through the comments I realize how it's more appreciated by the foreigners more and that's actually got me wondering. I love music and listen to music very much but I've never heard this before and I'm 26yrs

      It's not just appreciated by foreigners... it's just that probably you grew up in the big cities or you were younger and only came on when hip-life started taking over...
      I knew this song when I was young and started searching for it but to no avail until this year!!! Thank God because I have been reliving those memories and enjoying the track continuously...
      My colleagues at work, who probably, were born in the big cities have never heard of it and marvels them how I know such song!!!

    The article Living the Highlife brought me here after listening to Dj Katapila. This is part of the Ghana mobile disco history. I was a Dj apprentice then, traveling all the way from my village in the Central region to the city to be a "packer" as we used to be called then. My experience in those has helped me enormously in my current career in the arts.
