Ghanaian highlife music is experiencing a powerful revival with the release of “Twimasi,” a new song by Gyasehene Fire Man, under OGYA DAM WORLDWIDE Entertainment.
The record blends tradition, live instrumentation, and cultural storytelling—the elements that once defined Ghana’s most celebrated sound.
For decades, highlife music has gradually slipped from the mainstream spotlight, overshadowed by modern genres and evolving industry trends. Yet its essence, deeply rooted in Ghana’s history, identity, and communal spirit, has never truly disappeared. “Twimasi” emerges as a bold reminder that highlife still holds relevance, depth, and global appeal.
The project is a collaborative effort led by Mistacii, alongside Gyasehene Fire Man and the Odikro International Band, united by a shared mission to restore the soul of authentic Ghanaian music. Built on live band arrangements, warm melodies, and meaningful lyrical expression, “Twimasi” reflects the true spirit of classic highlife while resonating with today’s audience.
Speaking on the vision behind the release, Gyasehene described the song as more than just music, calling it “a revival, a homecoming, and a gift to the world.”
He added that “Twimasi” is intended to reintroduce global audiences to Ghana through its rhythms, stories, and cultural pride, while reigniting appreciation for a genre that shaped generations.
With fire-and-water-themed artwork and the bold declaration that “Highlife Is Back,” “Twimasi” symbolizes renewal, resilience, and cultural pride. The release also underscores OGYA DAM WORLDWIDE Entertainment’s commitment to promoting heritage music and supporting live band artistry on both local and international stages.
