Speaking in an interview on the Day Break Hitz on HitzFM, Kelvyn Boy who recently released his 8 track ‘Time’ EP urged his fellow musicians to uphold the highlife legacy.
“We did Afrobeats 50 years back before Nigerians started. It got influenced by highlife and a lot of songs we jam to now, are Afrobeats songs. Imagine we don’t even have our own Afrobeats,” he told Andy Dosty host of the show.
He added, Ghanaians should not wait for other countries to carry the genre like Nigerians have done before they own up to it.
