Step back into the vibrant sounds of 1980s Ghana with The Best Of Asona Records (Classic 80's Burger Highlife From Ghana), a carefully curated compilation released by BBE Music in 2025. Featuring a lineup of beloved Ghanaian artists including Thomas Frempong, Jewel Ackah, and Eric Agyemang with the Kokroko Band, this collection shines a spotlight on the infectious Burger Highlife genre — a fusion of traditional Ghanaian highlife with Western funk and soul that defined an era.

Presented in a gatefold sleeve and pressed in Germany, this LP offers an immersive listening experience that brings these classic tracks to a new generation of world music enthusiasts and longtime fans of African popular music alike.
