E.T. Mensah - Essie Nana ft. The Tempos | MP3 Download

Worldclass Ghanaian bandleader E.T. Mensah is back with “Essie Nana“, a gem from his album All For You, Classic Highlife Recordings From The 1950s.

Beyond that, The Tempos bring their signature horn arrangements and tight rhythmic interplay to the recording, creating a warm, danceable atmosphere that defined the golden era of highlife. Their brass section weaves through the melody with precision, while the percussion section maintains that shuffling, syncopated groove that made this genre so irresistible across West Africa.

All in all, the production captures that vintage warmth you’d expect from 1950s studio work, with each instrument sitting in its own space without cluttering the mix. Add this one to your classic highlife collection and let us know what you think after giving it a proper listen.
