Highlife Time 3.

Abstract

British-born professor John Collins has dedicated his career to popular music in West
Africa; he wrote ten books and over eighty scholarly articles, produced a myriad of
Ghanaian bands in his Bokoor Studios, toured extensively as a guitarist, and taught for
twenty-four years at the University of Ghana's Department of Music. Highlife Time 3
contains his cumulative experiences, research, and interviews of more than five
decades working and living in Ghana and is a testimony to Collins's dedication to
promoting and studying popular music in the region. Part memoire, philosophic
musing, oral history project, and ethnomusicological study, this book provides the
broadest survey to date of highlife.
