New age Ghanaian music is a powerful statement of art and creativity as even showcased and projected by accompanying music videos. 

Even better is that Highlife – one of the pioneer genres – lays the basis of many songs. In addition, there is a clear Caribbean influence audible in much of Ghana's musical output. The country's music has managed to maintain its distinct identity. The emergence of uniquely Ghanaian pop music began in the 20th century and is often passed down to younger generations via visuals. They carry a rich heritage that Ghana is known for and also depict how life is in the modern-day. Besides the mellow sounds of swing, jazz, rock, ska, and soukous all infused into high-life music, the visuals are worth a million words. That’s why this piece is dedicated to showcasing trending Ghana music videos this week.
