The National Theatre was on Saturday night “set on fire” when Ghanaian “Burgers’ mounted the sate to make the much awaited “Burger Highlife” show a reality.
One could see sheer ecstasy imprinted on the faces of many as the instruments resounded; producing what could best be described as classical highlife.
The authentic music provided that evening would send one to “cloud time”.
A spending performance by the Dance Factory drew the curtain for the show. One remarkable thing about the show was that, some artistes who used to perform as duo but along the line had gone their separate ways to come solo artistes, came together once again to perform an old song of theirs.
For instance Okyeame Quophi and Okyeame Kwame performed together their song “Mesan aba” as Akyeame, while Daddy Lumba and Nana Acheampong came as Lumba Brothers to give a rendition of their hit song “Oye aka akwantuom”,
It was a night to remember!

1993 ECRAG Music Award winner, McGod thrilled the audience with his “Highlife Agogo”.
Charles Amoah was something else – bombarding the audience with his stuff amid beautiful rhythmic movements.
George Darko drew cheers from the audience as he treated them to inspiring tunes, which got some on their feet, as they couldn’t help it.
As if the audience knew Pat Thomas would be the last to perform, they began cheering as he appeared on stage, even before he took the microphone, and yes, he did get the people asking for more.
The show was organized by the Goethe-Institut.
