THEY SAY HIGH-LIFE MUSIC IS DEAD AND ITS SECOND TO HIP-LIFE, HOW CAN HIGH-LIFE MUSIC BE DEAD. HIGH-LIFE MUSIC IS NOT DEAD AND IT WILL NEVER EVER DIE. SURE HIP-LIFE IS THE THING HAPPENING IN GHANA BUT WHEN U THINK ABOUT ITS LIKE A FASHION PHASE. IT MAYBE HOT TODAY BUT DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL RUN OUT OF ITS PASSION. HIGH-LIFE MUSIC HAS BEEN AROUND THE COLONIAL DAYS OF GHANA WITH GREAT SOUNDS LIKE OSODE AND OTHER GREAT MUSIC FORMS. IN THE 50'S AND 60'S U HAD GREAT HIGH-LIFE SINGERS LIKE E.T. MENSAH, RAMBLERS DANCE BAND, UHURU DANCE BAND AND U ALSO HAD GREAT GUITAR HIGH-LIFE STARS LIKE E.K. NYAME, NANA AMPADU AND HIS AFRICAN BROTHERS, KOO NIMO AND DR. K GYASI. IN THE 70'S U HAD EXCELLENT HIGH-LIFE SINGERS THAT WERE STILL MAKING HIGH-LIFE MUSIC BIG LIKE C.K. MANN AND HIS CAROUSEL 7, PAAPA YANKSON, A.B. CRENTSIL, PAT THOMAS, JEWEL ACKAH AND GYEDU BLAY AMBOLLEY. IN THE 80'S THE SPIRIT OF HIGH-LIFE MUSIC WAS STILL GOING ON VERY STRONGLY WITH THE FORM OF BURGER HIGH-LIFE MUSIC WITH THE MIGHTY SINGERS OF BEN BRAKO, AMAKYE DEDE, GEORGE DARKO, LEE DODOU AND THE LUMBA BROTHERS. THE 90'S HIGH-LIFE MUSIC WAS GOING INTO THE HIP-LIFE PHRASE BUT IT STILL CONTINUED ITS TRUE TRADTION WITH ITS OLD SCHOOL HIGH-LIFE GIANTS AND NEW FACES LIKE DAASEBRE GYAMENAH, OFORI AMPONSAH AND OTHERS. TODAY HIP-LIFE MUSIC MAY BE THE NEW FACE OF GHANA MUSIC BUT VERY VERY SOON I THINK IT WILL COME TO THE VERY END AND THAT THE TRUE SOUND OF GHANA, HIGH-LIFE MUSIC WILL STILL REMAIN STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE FOR ITS PEOPLE OF GHANA AND THE CUTURE OF GHANA. THIS I KNOW WILL BE TRUE TO THE VERY END OF TIME WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL!   KOJO OSAE JR.

  HOW TO CONTROL AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP Elvis Williams Dumehassie May 31, 2011    ·  3 min read    ·  Shared with Elvis's friends and Maame Yaa Overview   If you are in an abusive relationship, you should consider getting out of it immediately. Abuse is not acceptable in any relationship, and both physical and mental abuse can lead to violence and result in someone getting hurt or killed. If you and your partner are seeking therapy or you feel you want to save your relationship, you can try to control the abusive behaviour and events by your actions.   Step 1   Disregard verbal attacks. If your partner comes after you with verbal threats, try to ignore him or her and just walk away. If they confront you face to face, refuse to offer a rebuttal with negative talk. Let them know you are not going to contribute to fighting behaviour. Your partner may initiate a barrier around you to prevent you from leaving by threatening to ta...

  Summary - LOVE MYELITIS | Author: ELORM BEENIE (© Copyright 2010) Elorm Beenie January 6, 2011    ·  8 min read    ·  Shared with Elorm's friends and anyone tagged   “…LOVE is a disease; you wish you would never get infected but it is inevitable. LOVE is contagious. You wish you can live without it, yet you cannot. Once you’re caught in it, you forget about every other thing in the world. It’s like you’re blindfolded when you fall in LOVE. Everything looks so perfect to you but not until you get caught in an emotional glitch, then you’d run away and loathe LOVE…”   It is the most talked about, the most cherished, the eternally sought for yet the most delicate game to play on earth. LOVE is its name, even great men and people in the hall of fame still cannot overpower this game – LOVE. This alone explains how cumbersome LOVE is. People play it staying happy forever, others play it losing their lives, losing their jobs, and even proper...
