Musician Worlasi has honoured veteran music producer Hammer of the Last 2 at his 2020 Worlafest concert.
In a 2015 documentary titled ‘nuse: Strength Within’ that chronicled his music journey, he named Ghanaian Afro-Rock band Osibisa and The Last Two as the two entities that inspired him.
“While I was growing in the music, Osibisa and The Last Two. Those are the people who really motivated me to keep going,”
“It’s about what I felt during the time I was recording. So if you don’t feel the same way, I’m sorry. There are some people who have this knowledge about music so if they tell you your music is good, you have to be proud of it. The Last Two Hammer is one.”
When Worlasi called Hammer to came up stage during the concert, he was first doubtful of the singer’s intentions.
“When Worlasi saw me at his concert and asked me to stick around, little did I know what he had in mind,” said Hammer in a social media post.
“Even when he called on me to mount the stage for an award, I still thought to myself, this is so corny… he’s probably doing this just cos he saw me here; this can’t be premeditated… that’s when I saw my name engraved in the bronze… I shy rough,” Hammer continued.
Worlasi acknowledged Hammer for his contribution to music in Ghana.
“Thank you for inspiring and influencing me and my music,” Worlasi said. “I appreciate your intelligence and contribution to our industry.”
