E.T. Mensah - Munsuro ft. The Tempos | MP3 Download

Legendary Ghanaian bandleader E.T. Mensah joins The Tempos on “Munsuro“, a gem pulled from the archival collection All For You, Classic Highlife Recodings From The 1950s.

To add to that, The Tempos bring their tight instrumental interplay to the recording, with horns and percussion weaving through the arrangement in ways that defined the golden era of highlife. Their backing is warm and lively, creating the kind of groove that made dance floors come alive across West Africa during that period. The group’s synergy with Mensah feels effortless, each musician understanding their role in building the song’s infectious rhythm.

All in all, the production carries that vintage analogue warmth, with brass lines that punch through the mix and a rhythm section that keeps everything swinging. Add this one to your playlist if you’re into classic highlife or want to hear where so much of today’s African music finds its roots, and let us know what you think after giving it a spin.
