Nana Kwame Ampamdu Prophecy On Peace FM
Nana Kwame Ampadu one of Ghana’s poetic musicians has been in the news lately expressing his opinion on the direction Ghanaian music is taking in recent times.
According to the highlife living legend every musician is singing about love or direct profanity when there are several other very pressing issues and natural things in the society we can sing about. A local daily soft sell captured what he thinks of the present trend of contemporary music in the country and what can be done about it.
In the story Nana made reference to the A-Plus’ new song titled "A Letter to Parliament" that he thinks it’s too insulting to politicians who were mentioned in the song. On Peace FM’s "Entertainment Review" Nana Ampadu was called to explain why he thinks the political rapper is insulting the public officers.
Live on air he emphasized that even though the young man raised very important social issues bordering on the society he thinks A-Plus did it in a rather ridiculous way making fun of everybody including the current president.
