E.T. Mensah (born 1919 in Accra; died 1996) was a Ghanaian Highlife musician. He began as a flautist with the Accra Orchestra, a schoolchildren band, in 1930. In 1948 he formed "The Tempos", a group he might be best known for, and toured West Africa. The group gained international attention and in 1956 Mensah performed with Louis Armstrong. The highlife style declined starting in the 1960s, but he remained active for years afterward.[1]
