‘If you want to create a unique identity and make good money, then do highlife music’ –Manager of R2bees reveals

 

Our good old highlife music seems to be gaining some public appeal as the days go by. Ghanaian musicians seems to be interested in going back to the root, and it’s not surprising that songs like, Concert Party by R2bees, ‘Mansa’ by Bisa Kdei, ‘Alewa’ by Ofori Amponsah, ‘Mewu’ by Sarkodie, ‘Makoma’ among others are receiving massive rotations on our airwaves and topping chat shows as well.

Touching briefly on the resurrection of highlife music on our Ghanaian music scene and what accounted for all this, one man who has always been passionate about highlife music, Mark Okraku- Mantey has disclosed on Peace Fm’s entertainment review that he is at least happy about the new development and according to him the manager of R2bees, Ike Gome not too long ago revealed to him that to crossover and make good money, they have realized as a camp that doing highlife music is the surest bet.

“If you want to crossover, make good money, then you have to do liveband music and a typical Ghanaian rhythm that you would be identified with, so now we have decided to toe that lane”. Mark disclosed

He continued, “At least we would have an album dedicated to highlife music”.

R2bees for some time now has released show-stopper highlife songs like Odo, Makoma, Concert Party, and it goes on and on.
