Kwadwo Akwaboah Snr, a celebrated Ghanaian Highlife musician Requested the new crop of Ghanaian musicians to train their voices frequently.
After listening to several Musicians’ performances during the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) which was held over the weekend this is what he said during an interview “I never listen to these programs and awards schemes but because of Kwabena, I decided to sit through the VGMA. I sat and listened to the voices of these performing artistes and they sounded very poor. Some of them have really bad voices.”
“I wasn’t impressed with their voices at the VGMA. Some of them sounded differently from their records,” Kwadwo Akwaboah Snr sadly repeated.
Kwadwo Akwaboah Snr has therefore instructed the Current musicians to focus on training their voices as well as performing more with live bands.
“They should seek help from voice trainers and focus more on-stage performances instead of studio recordings and auto-tuning techniques. That is how our musicians can sound and do well. Every highlife artiste must be conversant with an instrument. In our day, every musician was at least talented with a guitar or piano.” He added.
