  "lineage": "Akan branch of highlife from the Ashanti and Fante hinterland of Ghana, grown from palm-wine guitar playing and led by small guitar bands rather than brass dance orchestras. From the 1950s guitar bands were joined to the concert party, a travelling comic popular theatre in Akan languages whose shows are framed by band music; acoustic and later electric guitars, the box bass lamellophone and hand percussion make up the band, with a generic hand drum standing in for its drums.",
  "recipe": "classic West African mid-1950s guitar-band highlife and concert party, functional Song, African pop branch. solo with instrumental accompaniment, unprocessed natural acoustic, single lead single track no stacking. parlor acoustic single coil electric guitar, prempensua, hand drum source unspecified. treated studio. passive ribbon, tube pre. direct-to-disc lacquer.",
