Palm wine guitar is a captivating West African music genre known for its intricate fingerpicking guitar style and lyrical storytelling, often performed in informal settings where local palm wine is shared. Originating in the coastal regions of Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, it blends indigenous musical traditions with western instruments, creating a distinctive fusion of highlife, folk, and blues. Artists like Bobby Benson and S.E. Rogie infuse rhythmic, melodic guitar lines with relaxed, yet infectious grooves, while lyrical themes span love, social issues, and everyday life, making palm wine guitar a true reflection of the cultural and social tapestry of West Africa.
