Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
According to highlife musician Kofi Nti, despite how old his songs are, they are still the best because of the quality of the lyrics.
Although the new songs in the system are good, none of them, in Kofi Nti’s opinion, come close to the old songs in terms of words and musical quality.
He compared the two songs (old and new), saying that doing so would be like comparing oranges with melons.
The Rakia hitmaker called the earlier tunes “evergreen” in an interview with Graphic entertainment.
He paid tribute to certain veteran musicians who helped build the music business. Ofori Amponsah, KK Fosu, Nana Agyeman, Kontihene, and other figures were referenced by Kofi Nti.
“It is no surprise songs from our time and before us are always evergreen. In fact, I miss our days when the likes of Ofori Amponsah, KK Fosu, Nana Agyemang, and Kontihene among others were performing wonders with their songs. When you play an old song today, you will realize it has all the elements that make a song unique and although songs of today are not bad, I just believe our rock and are much better,”.
Touching on what he misses during ‘his days’, Kofi Nti revealed, “I miss when myself, Ofori Amponsah, Barosky were all over the place entertaining Ghanaians with our music. We played at almost every show at that time and it was a good feeling”.
Commenting on staying relevant as a musician, Kofi Nti said, “it is not easy for an artiste to remain relevant for years. Musicians such as Okyeame Kwame, Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi etc have managed to do it and I can only commend them. It takes a genius to do that and they have done a good job of that”.
