Performing high energy, tightly knit traditional, neo-traditional, and highlife dance music from Ghana, CU’s Highlife Ensemble has audiences dancing in the aisles to its irresistible West African rhythms. Under the direction of Kwasi Ampene, the group includes thirty music and non-music majors from the Boulder campus. It is the first university ensemble in the US to perform highlife music.
