Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, Ghana edition 413 Description: ET Mensah, a wizard of the trumpet and saxes. Biting hot. Are Our Dance Bands Dying? "Ghana high life music is the tops!" That's what everybody says. But if they listened a little closer they'd find our bands harping on the same old tunes, filling the dance halls with a monotonous wave of sound. The question is how to get our high life to soar again, to give it the healthy zest it showed in the days before the rot set in. Country: Ghana Date Created: 11-1961 Creator: Drum Social Histories Credit Notice: Drum Magazine photographer / Drum Social Histories / Bailey's African History Archive / african.pictures Keywords:
