The release of “Highlife Agogo” on A.U. Day, May 25 is in line with his promise to release a single every month for the next thirty six months.

Rex describes “Highlife Agogo” as a dancefloor filler with a big band feel and a dash of salsa to it. According to him, his choice of a salsa flavour for the tune follows the cosmopolitan influences on highlife which draws heavily on the African vibes of our trans-Atlantic kindred.

Rex Omar’s trademark is danceable highlife grooves cast in the big band mould with exquisite arrangements. His first single dubbed “Nhyira”, a mid-tempo gospel flavoured tune is enjoying nationwide airplay following a series of successful radio tours in selected cities.
