Veteran Ghanaian highlife artiste, Kwadwo Akwaboah Snr has pointed out that most musicians in Ghana voices are very poor from what he witnessed during the recent Vodafone Ghana Music Award's show.

He stated that he felt very sad while sitting through the recently held Vodafone Ghana Music Awards listening to the performances of the artistes because of his son, Akwaboah.

“I never listen to these programs and award schemes but because of Kwabena, I decided to sit through the VGMA. I sat and listened to the voices of these performing artistes and they sounded very poor. Some of them have really bad voices,” he noted in a recent interview with Happy FM.

“I wasn’t impressed with their voices at the VGMA. Some of them sounded differently from their records. They should seek help from voice trainers and focus more on stage performances instead of studio recordings and auto-tuning techniques."

"That is how our musicians can sound and do well. Every highlife artiste must be conversant with an instrument. In our day, every musician was at least talented with a guitar or piano,” he noted.

Akwaboah Snr recently came back in the music scene with a remix of his song “Awerekyekyere” featuring Akwaboah Jnr.

Although his son, Akwaboah did not receive any awards on the night, he maintained receiving an award is not a validation of his hard work. He exclaimed that Akwaboah wins awards internationally, so he's not much concerned about local events.
