Okyeame Kwame

Azonto killed my new title - Okyeame Kwame
Okyeame Kwame, arguably one of the Ghana's most
accomplished and consistent musicians in the last
decade, seems to be the only artiste who fell on
the wrong side of the latest dance craze to hit
Ghana - the Azonto.

While several new artistes strolled to the bank
after the Christmas season, Okyeame Kwame was left
lamenting on how he had gotten it all wrong.
According to the musician, his latest single,
'Sika', a pensive melancholic reflection on the
many effects of money on the human race, tasted
dust throughout the Christmas season. Speaking to
the Globe newspaper, Okyeame Kwame said he had
been left second guessing his promomtional tactics
when under his very nose the Azonto fever swept
his song to the curb.

The Ghanaian dance craze - Azonto is making wide
waves around the world as dance enthusiasts try to
outdo each other by posting the most hilarious or
the most captivating Azonto moves online video
channel, Youtube.

The current spokesperson for the Musicians Union
of Ghana, Okyeame Kwame says on hindsight, "I was
supposed to have released a lighter, happier
song."
