Ghana’s Reggae sensation, Shasha Marley, has drawn a comparison between his songs and that of legendary Bob Marley.
According to him, the songs on his album titled ‘Lost and Found’ can be likened to Marley’s songs he made in the nineties which are still being played today.
“The quality of my ‘Lost and Found’ album which had the hit Maata Family is just like Bob Marley releasing a song in 1976 or 1977. For example, Bob Marley’s song ‘One Love’, was released in 1965. But why are we still playing it? It is because of the quality”
“I have a song on the album called ‘I am not ashamed of the gospel’. In Ghana here, people don’t usually play it. But as I am talking now, it is the number one song in East Africa and I recorded it back in 2007. That album is still trending everywhere in the world. It is just that back home we got so much affiliated with Maata Family. I have fourteen songs on that album. I am still in the system”, he said in an interview with Dr. Cann on Happy FM.
Shasha Marley is of the view that Ghanaian media does not give the needed attention to reggae music.
However, the artist said he is not discouraged because his music is recognized all over the world.
Shasha Marley is currently promoting his new single titled ‘The Dawn’.
