Your music must say something – Kojo Antwi advises fellow musicians
Legendary Ghanaian musician Kojo Antwi says
Ghanaian musicians must include relevant messages
in their lyrics if they want to leave a legacy.

A well known figure in the Ghanaian music circles,
Kojo Antwi has carved a niche for himself as one
of the best musicians the country has produced.

The Maestro has released some great hits which
include Afrafranto, Groovy, and Mr. Music man
amongst others. Speaking exclusively to Paa Kofi
Nyarko on GH Classics on 3FM 92.7MHz, Kojo Antwi
advised present day musicians to use relevant
messages which will still live on when they are no
more.

“These are the songs and those are the words
that will live after you are gone because the ones
that you sing about yourself, your woman will die
off”. He, however, cited war veteran Bob Denard,
who was honoured quite recently with the Nobel
Peace Prize for literature, for works that he did
during the Vietnam War as an example of a legend
who is still remembered for his good deeds on
earth. “I have been saying this on other
platforms because I want people to know that
somebody is listening to us so you must say
something. “You shouldn’t just do songs to
make money and just get gifts but you have to say
something to the people.”
