Music

Another Liberian culture, customs, and etiquette that you must bear in mind is Liberian music. Highlife, a fusion of local and western music styles, is one of the most well-liked musical genres in the nation. When highlife music first appeared in Liberia in the 1950s, it became popular throughout the nation. Highlife music, a fusion of Latin American, West African, and North American styles, first appeared in Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Liberia in the 1950s. It was particularly popular among the Liberian Kru people, who were sailors who played the Spanish guitar, banjo, pennywhistle, harmonica, accordion, mandolin, and concertina.

Hip-hop is the most well-known type of western music that the young people of Liberia have adopted. The pioneering hip-hop musicians' appearance in the late 1980s laid the foundation for the genre in Liberia. The genre is referred to locally as "Hipco" and prominently incorporates regional languages. Hipco has been employed by influential musicians as a method of activism to critique governmental actions and the moral decline in society. However, a lot of Liberians, especially those who live in the country's rural areas, appreciate traditional music.
