We have had a dynamic music arena in Ghana,from the 1950's calypso style music, to the 1970's to 80's highlife and the burger highlife of the 1990's and currently contemporary highlife and hiplife(rap + highlife). The message too have moved from patriotic and decent songs to lyrics that leaves much to be desired. this has led to some music being banned from air-play on radios. Ghanaian music too have moved from live band music to already-made instrumentals, and much of the work is done by sound engineers. During the live band era,Ghanaian music was very much like jazz,with every musical instruments from the guitar to the dondo(local drum) and artists like E.T. Mensah,Pat Thomas,A.B. Crentsil,A.A.A.,Black Chinese,Frimpong,etc. giving us their best.
