The Highlife: Naija Jams

March 29, 2009 by Boima Tucker

The Highlife: Afrocan House

February 18, 2009 by Boima Tucker

This Thursday is a new night of The Highlife at Otis Lounge in San Francisco.  We will be exploring the world of Afro, Soulful, African House.  Maybe call this night Afro House vs. African House.  What’s the difference? There is an interesting dichotomy emerging within the surging interest of African Electronic Music.  Writers around the Internet are pointing to differences (and similarities) between Afro House styles from Europe and the U.S. and House or Techno from Africa. Does a difference […]

The Highlife: Rai Baby

January 15, 2009 by Boima Tucker

This Saturday, DJ Refusenik (we misspelled it on the flyer.) will be our featured guest, and he will be throwing down some North African pop jams. Here is Reda Taliani and 113 with one of my favorite Rai songs: more about “113 & REDA TALIANI – YA […]

The Highlife: Saturday October 18th

October 10, 2008 by Boima Tucker

Highlife Music was one of the first African musics to take influences from American Sounds.  In the 1920′s as urban areas in West Africa grew, Jazz, and Big Band arrangements fused with local Palm Wine and acoustic musics, and also mixed with Calypso, Cuban Son, and other musics from overseas.  It was fun, uplifting music in the spirit of good times. These such fusions continue on through to today,  and it is in that spirit of mixing and good times, […]
