US based music star, Papa Shee�e has soared to a new level in his music career with the release of his latest album �Akokono Ato Pa Gen�. The album launched in the latter part of 2009 has hit the airwaves in Ghana, Europe and the United States enjoying considerable airtime. Papa Shee�e surprised his US fans by launching the album at the naming ceremony of his new born son with Maame Konadu his darling wife to whom he dedicates one of the songs on the album. At a packed location in Takoma Park in Maryland, music industry professionals, press, recording agents , family, friends , DJ�s, media and members of the music world who had been invited to His baby naming ceremony were swept to their feet as the Surprise Album release took center stage. Papa Shee�e was interviewed live on Volta Power FM and Lady D�s show; �Talk of the City�in the US before embarking on a promotional tour promoting his new album; �Akokono Ato Pa Gen�. Mr. CNN, 3G media publisher, the New Ghanaian Newspaper and Afrikan Post, all US based in the USA have visited the star at his African fabric and music store located at the University blvd, Maryland. Papa is excited about the new album; it is diverse and has one great gospel song worth listening. �The success of the album will not only be judged on how far it gets but also how much you want to keep it close to you,� says Papa Shee�e. One of the easiest ways to set you apart from others is by creating a distinct voice, and in the music industry, that voice is with song. Lyrically, vocally and melodically, Papa Shee�e has a voice that is both recognizable and unforgettable. The CD has twelve tracks and the lead track �Akokono Ato Pa Gen� tells a story about a worm with wriggling antics known in the Akan language as �Akokono� who was brought before authorities for having insulted the wife of the Chief.� The Worm claimed his innocence and that he was just being the nice guy by helping the Chief�s wife to get up after a fall. His wriggling jigs were noticed as he set off to walk. �Akokono Ato Pa Gen� then became a chorus by everybody gathered in the palace as his antics came to question. Track ten features an unusual gospel song titled � Obeye ama wonso� He will do it for you too� which is soul inspiring and would keep fans playing it over and over again. One would wish Papa would release more gospel tunes. This latest album is now available in all African markets and music stores in the USA, Canada, Europe and Ghana. For those unlucky enough not to find the CD in the store the album will also be available on iTunes. Afrikan Post
