Nana Acheampong

A founder of burger highlife

Household Name is level 4 of 4 in the Ghana Hall of Fame: known and loved across the country, whatever the body of work behind it. See how the levels work.

Why they are here

One of the two voices that made burger highlife — the sound Ghanaians in Germany sent home in the 1980s, and that Ghana kept.

Nana Acheampong is a Ghanaian highlife musician and one of the originators of burger highlife, the style developed by Ghanaian musicians living in Germany in the 1980s and taken up at home.

He first came to attention as half of the duo Lumba Brothers with Daddy Lumba, before a long solo career.
