In Ghana, Kwabena Nyama has been perpetuating the original form of a genre better known in its swinging orchestral shape: the Highlife. The traditional style has been maintained in rural environments. It is based on acoustic guitar, with the bass provided by the "pempensoa", a lamellaphone made of a sound box and metal tongues coming from the packaging of boat containers. For rhythm instruments they use a fork or a coin tapped on a bottle of Star or Gulder, the local brands of beer, and the kunkun, a scraper made from to cans rubbed against each other. This local blues style was prettily named "palm wine music" by westerners
