Not highlife or in some cases even remotely close to it, but freakbeat fuzz smashers heavily influenced by the pop hits of the UK, France & the US, complete with beatle boots, trap drums & turtleneck sweaters. Just like every other city on earth, metropolitan spots across the African continent had a need for local farfisa swirls & tamborine shakers who could make their long bangs shimmy. Not too surprisingly, countries which had once been French colonies have a touch of Johnny Hallyday, while those who were once under British rule have a thing for Hendrix, and the formerly Portuguese seem to love Tom Jones. Ghana, Angola, Mozambique, Madagascar, South Africa, Cameroon.
