Highlife Mix | African Classics | Palmwine music | Roots to Reinvention

This mix is part of my ongoing series, Roots to Reinvention, where I explore the history and evolution of Black-rooted sounds. Read the accompanying essay on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/rootsto.... In it, I write about the history of highlife, what it has evolved into, and how I came to discover it. If you enjoyed this mix, subscribe to follow the journey as I explore more Black-rooted sounds and the stories behind them :) Enjoy listening x ────────── DISCLAIMER None of the music featured in this mix belongs to me, nor do I claim ownership of it.
