The fusion of Highlife, Kpanlogo and Afro PopThe spirited culture of Wulomei and DzadzeloiThe lyrical stature of The Maestro Kojo Antwi and earthiness of EK's Band Come together in his music as a grand ployTo move your parents and children; man, woman, girl and boyTo dance like there is no tomorrowTo dance through our sorrow and moments of joy
A proud musician of Ghanaian heritage he isSings his life songs with humility and peaceLights up the dance floor at classy partiesAnd puts worrying minds of the hustlers at easeFrom his maiden dance tune Azonto GhostThrough his ground-breaking truth MetanfoTo his thanksgiving anthem Give it to BabaAnd now his retro Brother Brother to MansaThis fine artist continues a great traditionObserved by EK's Band, Onyontofohene Nana Kwame AmpaduAgya Koo Nimo, The Maestro Kojo Antwi, Amakye Dede, Daddy LumbaOfori Amponsah, Daasebre Gyamenah, Kwabena Kwabena and more over the last 6 decadesTo unite, instruct, comfort, humour, excite and inspire usA tradition whose torch bearers have blazed a fine trailCreated a big river that flows downstream For the young and energetic to sail smoothly to new realizationsTo alter the existing to better face the onslaught of foreign competition
It is our prayer that the young will cut tributaries that will be enlarged and entrenched to match and surpass the great rivers of old in world visibilityThe roots, the source, shall however never be lost if the fruits remember who and what did what before themTributes from each tributary shall be paid to the river(s) out of which each flowedSo too the fruits that nourish us this day must never be tossed aside in recognition of the maiden sources but celebrated side by side and given their due applause and pedestal amidst the shining lights.Each devoted, accomplished artist who serves us meritoriously through song, performance and upliftment deserves a glorious place in OUR CULTURAL STORY.
Peace and blessings to BISA K'DEI for the joy and inspiration you bring to our nation, the diaspora and World Music.God bless BISA K'DEI and all our dedicated musicians and devoted fans.God bless; nothing less." -HRB
