For the cellular automaton see HighLife.

Highlife is a musical genre that originated in Ghana and Sierra Leone in the 1920's and spread to other West African countries. It is characterized by jazzy horns and multiple guitars which lead the band. Recently, it has acquired an uptempo, synth-driven sound (cf. Daddy Lumba).

Saka Acquaye and His African Ensemble are featured on Nonesuch Explorer Series album Ghana: High-Life & Other Popular Music (Voices of Africa: High-Life and Other Popular Music 1969/2002). Other artists include:

• S. E. Rogie
• Koola Lobitos
• The African Brothers Band
• A.B. Crentsil
• George Darko
• Solomon Ilori
• Rex Lawson
• Prince Nico Mbarga
• E.T. Mensah
• Osibisa
• The Sweet Talks
• The Tempos
• Pat Thomas
• Daddy Lumba
• Bolga Zohdoomah
