KK Fosu has said Highlife music is dynamic and not just one sound or style.

“It’s a generation thing,” he said, citing how Nana Ampadu’s Highlife was different from that of generations after him.

He said even though Daddy Lumba did Burger Highlife, his style was different from that of the subgenre’s creator, George Darko.

He observed his and Ofori Amponsah’s Highlife was also different from the that of the aforementioned forerunners.

“But it’s the same Highlife. So long as you have your frikyiwa, guitars and rhythms, it’s Highlife,” he noted.

Apart from Amponsah, he named Daasebre, Kofi B, and Kwabena Kwabena as contemporaries.

He drew a distinction, however.

“I hold the key in such a way that I have the old feel, and I don’t slang my Twi like I’m singing an R&B song,” he said.

He added there were “tones and a language unique and essential to Highlife music.

“That’s why not a lot of people are able to sustain a career in it. You need to learn it and do it well.”
