One artiste who believes in originality is Highlife musician Kofi Nti and he says it is about time young musicians stopped sounding like artistes from other countries especially Nigerians.

According to Kofi Nti, young musicians are now sounding like Nigerians and it is sometimes difficult to tell them apart.
 
“I listen to the radio and I sometimes wonder which artiste is singing because the young Ghanaian musicians are sounding so much like the Nigerians.

“It is now difficult to tell whether it is a Nigerian or a Ghanaian singing. We better put a stop to it because it is not helping,” he told Graphic Showbiz recently.

Kofi Nti said the real authentic Ghanaian music seems to be forgotten lately.

“Look at the days of Daddy Lumba, Obrafour,  Amakye Dede, Lord Kenya, Kojo Antwi,  Ofori Amponsah, Kwabena Kwabena and myself. You could clearly tell that this is Ghanaian music but what do we see now?

“We can’t even boast of our own music and are rather copying the Nigerians. The likes of Wiyaala, King Ayisoba, Sherifa Gunu, Atongo, Worlasi should be appreciated for their works but unfortunately, we don’t really appreciate such musicians in Ghana,” he told Graphic Showbiz.

Away from that, Kofi Nti said he is planning to release his latest single Sika Fata Wo featuring Bless.
