Seaman Jolly is the captivating album by Ghanaian Burger Highlife artist Paa Jude, released under Asona Records. Known for blending Highlife, Afrobeat, and soulful rhythms, Paa Jude delivers an infectious, uplifting sound that celebrates Ghanaian culture with modern beats and dance-worthy grooves.
The story of Asona Records, founded in the 1980s in London by Anthony Roberts Frempong, reflects the evolution of Burger Highlife—a genre born from the fusion of classic Ghanaian Highlife with American soul, funk, and disco, shaped by the diaspora. After a serendipitous rediscovery of rare records, Asona’s catalogue is being reissued by BBE Music, reviving the vibrant legacy of Electric Highlife.
Burger Highlife emerged in the 1980s as a response to Ghana’s economic hardships, which forced many musicians to work abroad, notably in Europe and North America. The genre took root with George Darko's iconic track Akoo Te Brofo, recorded in Hamburg, blending Ghanaian rhythms with electronic disco influences. The reissue series showcases the richness of this genre, tracing its roots back to the late 1960s and celebrating its transatlantic journey, known as the "Diaspora Loop."
