Description

Kalita Records continues its acclaimed series exploring Ghana’s unique fusion of West African melodies with disco, funk, and electronic innovation. Borga Revolution! Volume 3 charts the rise of Burger Highlife – the sound born from the diaspora during Ghana’s turbulent 1980s. Driven by drum machines, synths, and the rhythms of exile, this double LP shines a spotlight on trailblazers like George Darko and Lee Dodou, as well as rare cuts from Osei Banahene, Obibini Takyi, and more.

With extensive liner notes, interviews, and photos, this is more than just a compilation – it’s a document of musical resilience and reinvention. Whether you're crate-digging for gems or discovering the genre for the first time, Volume 3 offers a rich, irresistible sonic journey.

For fans of: William Onyeabor, Ebo Taylor, Ata Kak, Soundway Records compilations, African disco and boogie.
