Two-time Ghana DJ Awards, ‘Best Highlife DJ’, Oyokodehye Kofi, says it is better to play Stonebwoy’s ‘Putuu’ than play Nigerian songs in Ghana.
He made this comment while urging Ghanaian DJs to heavily promote Highlife music in the month of August.
The Accra FM presenter and DJ said in an interview with Ola Michael on Neat FM that it is important to dedicate the month of August to Ghanaian music.
When asked by the host if Ghanaian songs which have no meaning like Stonebwoy’s ‘Putuu’ and Patapaa’s ‘One Corner’, should also be promoted, he responded in the affirmative.
Oyokodehye Kofi added that it better to play such songs than play those made by Nigerians.
“At least it is better to play this kind of music than Nigerian music. It is better to promote these songs…”,he said.
Oyokodehye Kofi however stressed that as DJs play these songs they should also ensure that they play great songs from some Highlife veterans as well.
He believes with time, the young artists will compose meaningful songs just like the veterans.
