Happy Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day! On 21 September, 1909 Kwame Nkrumah was born in Nkroful. He was Ghana’s first Prime Minister and President. An ardent Pan-African, he was also a founding member of the Organisation of African Unity (now the African Union). How will you commemorate Nkrumah’s legacy today? (📷Cambridge University Library)

👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾 Prof. John Collins writer, journalist, recording engineer and highlife historian. Has been an essential asset to the preservation of Highlife music across West Africa for almost 50 years. His foundation the Bokoor African Music Archive Foundation (BAPMAF), holds decades worth of West African highlife history. Collins is a naturalised Ghanaian who initially came to Ghana in 1952 as a young boy with his family, and then settled in Ghana and has been active in the Highlife scene since 1969. . . Musically he has worked with a number of Nigerian and Ghanaian musicians and bands such as Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Koo Nimo, Victor Uwaifo, Kwaa Mensah and T.O.Jazz to name a few. As an artist himself, he ran his own Highlife band called the Bokoor Highlife guitar band which is also associated with his foundation (BAPMAF). . . We owe a great amount to Prof. J. Collins and others, in inspiring and educating our vision in the continued work towards the preservation of our music and history. #anodetohighlife #highlifemusic #highlife #grammaphone #westafricanmusic #thevinylfactory #explorepage #palmwinehighlife #african #GhanaianHistory #Ghanaianmusic #ghanatourism #africandiaspora #analogafrica #johncollins #ghanaheritage #ghanaarchive #ghanahistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5_N2uHYG2/?igshid=1t6abnchxgvxu

Brittany and I at Elomina Castle in Cape Coast Ghana. This picture was taken where our ancestors were shipped off from after they were captured. For many of our people this is the place they had to walk thru The Gate Of No Return. I can't accurately describe how it felt walking through this castle however I will say this... This definitely put somethings in perspective for me. #ghanahistory #ourhistory #blackhistort (at Cape Coast, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpc_2ljhIeyqHI0yeTbaphdeC2HDtXjpg9sLR00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11azb4yo9k6li
