Ce livre inédit raconte la fascinante histoire du high-life, « l’âme musicale ghanéenne » et l’une des premières formes de fusion entre musique africaine, européenne et américaine. Richement illustré par de nombreux documents rares, il évoque les transformations successives au sein de la culture musicale ghanéenne alors que le high-life en devient la composante principale, à l’intérieur du pays, mais aussi en dehors de ses frontières. Cet ouvrage raconte avec passion l’âge d’or du high-life des années 1950 et 1960, les scènes musicales effervescentes d’Accra, de Kumasi et de Takoradi, les fusions et les expérimentations des années 1970 et l’effondrement de l’industrie du disque ghanéenne au cours des années 1980. Il contient des histoires singulières à propos des chefs d’orchestre, des guitar bands et des grands groupes, sans oublier les formations électriques et éclectiques des années 1970. L’utilisation des chansons de high-life pour inspirer le changement politique, notamment lors de la campagne pour l’indépendance apporte une analyse inédite pour les lecteurs intéressés par le changement social en Afrique.

Ghana has been widely quoted as an example of successful adjustment in Africa. This has been followed by a successful adjustment to democracy. What factors have impelled these changes and how are they to be interpreted? This volume examines questions such as: what would have been the difference in performance if adjustment had not been initiated? What is the actual role of policy changes in determining economic outcomes? What is the effect of time-lag? What is the relationship between macroeconomic and microeconomic performance and between stabilization and adjustment? Ghana has arguably been more successful with stabilization than with adjustment. In a nuanced and subtle analysis, this study finally faces central questions: success in relation to what? Success from whose point of view?

... succeeds in conveying the exciting and fascinating character of the concert party genre, as well as showing clearly how this material can be used to rethink a number of contemporary theoretical themes and issues." ―Karin BarberUnder colonial rule, the first concert party practitioners brought their comic variety shows to audiences throughout what was then the British Gold Coast colony. As social and political circumstances shifted through the colonial period and early years of Ghanaian independence, concert party actors demonstrated a remarkable responsiveness to changing social roles and volatile political situations as they continued to stage this extremely popular form of entertainment. Drawing on her participation as an actress in concert party performances, oral histories of performers, and archival research, Catherine M. Cole traces the history and development of Ghana’s concert party tradition. She shows how concert parties combined an eclectic array of cultural influences, adapting characters and songs from American movies, popular British ballads, and local story-telling traditions into a spirited blend of comedy and social commentary. Actors in blackface, inspired by Al Jolson, and female impersonators dramatized the aspirations, experiences, and frustrations of their audiences. Cole’s extensive and lively look into Ghana’s concert party provides a unique perspective on the complex experience of British colonial domination, the postcolonial quest for national identity, and the dynamic processes of cultural appropriation and social change. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students of African performance, theatre, and popular culture.
