It’s not too late to get Highlife onto global stage – Pat Thomas

Legendary Highlife musician Pat Thomas has indicated that it is not late for Ghana to market the Highlife genre in the international space.

Speaking to JoyNews’ Ibrahim Ben-Bako, he stated that although he has heard some people express worry about the existence of the genre on a global stage, he believes it will take some collaborative efforts to achieve that milestone.

“It is not too late to get the Highlife music genre on the global stage, we have to work hard towards that,” Pat Thomas said.

His comment comes after Shatta Wale mentioned in his State of the Industry address that foreign investors are unable to identify Ghana with a unique music genre. The ‘I know my level’ hitmaker, therefore, described it as one of the main issues that needed to be fixed industry players.
