Monarch of the United Kingdom, Prince Charles, noted that among the musical productions coming from all over the Commonwealth, they can make you dance to songs "The Loco-Motion" by Kylie Minogue, "Upside Down" by Diana Ross, and the melodies "Highlife" from Ghana. Prince, at the age of 76, collaborates with the Apple company to create a radio program called "The King's Music Room," where he shares his favorite songs from various Commonwealth countries. The list of songs selected by Charles shows that the monarch has an unusual musical taste, as he prefers disco, reggae, and afrobeats. He believes that in the song "The Loco-Motion" there is a "charged energy," and as soon as he hears it, he finds it "very hard to remain still." The prince discovered highlife music, originated in Ghana, during his first visit to this African country in the 1970s, noting that he loves "to dance to this jumping rhythm." "During my last visit to Ghana in 2018, I found myself dancing to the song (M'bɔɔ m'bɔɔ do m'biem)" by Daddy Lumba, whom some consider the most important musician in his country. American performer Diana Ross, not being a citizen of the Commonwealth, with her song "Upside Down" also ranks among the monarch's favorites, who remarked: "When I was younger, it was almost impossible for me not to get up and dance when I heard this song."
