Imagine clicking a track: a warm opening chord, nylon strings plucked with deliberate elegance. The lead voice enters — velvety, full of rue and celebration — singing in Igbo with lines that fold into the rhythm like pages into a well-worn book. Horns answer, bright as midday; the groove tightens. Highlife here is both memory and movement: the steady thump of the guitar, the swinging syncopation of percussion, the brass that flips between melancholy and triumph.
