Burger Highlife concert today

After the success of ‘Made In Germany I’, a celebration of Burger Highlife, the Goethe Institut will today bring to Ghanaians another burger highlife musical concert scheduled for the National Theatre at 8.00pm.


The concert dubbed, ‘Made In Germany- A Celebration of Burger Highlife’, will feature some of Ghana’s top music stars who created a unique style by fusing highlife, disco and funk alongside influences that culminated in a nice blend of Ghanaian and German music traditions.


Burger highlife musicians billed to perform at today’s concert include George Darko, Pat Thomas, Lee Doudu, Charles Amoah, Bob Fiscian, Mc God and Ben Brako.


A distinctive form of highlife laced with contemporary sensitivities, Burger Highlife continues to enjoy a considerable following in Ghana as was witnessed during “Made in Germany I”, which was also held at the National Theatre in 2007 as part of Ghana’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.


Today’s programme is being presented by the Goethe-Institut as its contribution to Ghana’s 51st Independence Day celebrations. It is being produced by World Rhythms and supported by Lufthansa, National Theatre of Ghana with GTV, Citi FM, Channel R, Weekly Fylla and Ghana Music.com as media partners.
