E.T. Mensah - The King of Highlife (Podcast of 1981 Interview with Voice of America VOA)

Emmanuel Tettey Mensah, best known as E. T. Mensah (May 31, 1919 - July 19, 1996)

In October 1981, late Ghanaian Highlife pioneer E.T. Mensah was invited to New York for much needed holiday. Arriving NY 10/20/1981, E.T. Mensah stopped by Voice of America Washington DC office, and gave this interview to two African journalists (names unknown) from the VOA English-to-Africa service. For your listening enjoyment and at the end of the interview, I have included 'All for You', one of E.T.'s classic hit of the late 70's. Enjoy.

Sincere thanks to Matthew Lavoie and Leo Sarkisian of VOA for the audio file. Visit VOA at:
