Burger-highlife is a distinctive form of highlife music created by Ghanaian immigrants to Germany. It is considered a German musical style.

In the 1980s, Reggae music was gaining popularity worldwide and was carrying with it a growing popularity for other forms of world music that were easy to dance to. Highlife music, often fused with Reggae, gained a wider audience in Europe and North America at this time. Many Highlife artists in Germany, such as George Darko and the Lumba Brothers, played a slightly "Westernized" version of the traditional style and gained a strong following. This distinctive form of music, dubbed "Burger-highlife", has had a lasting influence of highlife music worldwide.
