Album lore
Atakora Manu’s 2021 release Omintiminim / Afro Highlife on BBE Africa assembles eight tracks rooted in Ghanaian highlife and hiplife traditions. Recorded with a clear reverence for the genre’s past, the album features compositions like “Dada” and “Asante Kotoko” that entwine funk-inflected rhythms with the melodic phrasing characteristic of coastal Ghana’s musical heritage. The record’s modest Last.fm listenership belies its fidelity to the lineage of highlife as a dancefloor staple and cultural signal. The instrumentation and arrangements emphasize both groove and melody without succumbing to excess, providing a measured platform for Manu’s interpretations of traditional themes and contemporary urban flair. Tracks such as “Cape Coast Cousin” and “Super Otete Impomamu” offer a concise, spirited take on the interface between historic highlife and modern hiplife sensibilities, making the album a worthy artifact for collectors and DJs attuned to West African funk and dance rhythms.
