The sub-genres of modern Ghanaian music are diverse, perhaps, due to Ghana’s cosmopolitan geographic position on the African continent.

Her most widely known popular music style is called highlife. It originates in the Gold Coast colonial days of the 1900s. Highlife is believed to have given birth to Afrobeat as we know it today!

Check out our selection of Top 10 Ghanaian tracks from the past week. This list is in no particular order.

Stonebwoy ft Chivv & Spanker – Good Morning

The first single off Stonebwoy’s impending “Anloga Junction” album, “Good Morning” can be described as a morning prayer with an upbeat dancehall twist. Stonebwoy features Dutch rapper Chivv & producer Spanker on what we tip to be a new club anthem!

King Promise – Sisa

Afrobeat singer King Promise has finally released his first single for 2020 after 2019’s critically acclaimed album “As Promised”. “Sisa” translates to “Change”, a romantic bop chronicling the story of good love gone bad.

Becca ft Busiswa – No One

“No one” sees Becca collaborating with South African diva Busiswa and follows the success of the previous collaborative single “Yes I do” which featured Tiwa Savage.
