Veterans Must Collaborate With Rising Stars - Dada KD

Dada KD has appealed to veteran artistes in Ghana to collaborate more with rising stars.

According to him, it is important for legends to share their experiences with the upcoming stars in order to make the Ghanaian music industry gain continuity.

He opined that most upcoming artistes are losing the culture of the original highlife music in Ghana.

Only by mixing with veterans who know the way, can the rising stars learn the culture.

“It would be nice to get these collaborations with these fast-rising artistes so that they can learn more from us but it is somehow difficult because they have a different style of doing music nowadays other than what we did in the past,"

“But the fact that music had evolved doesn’t mean we can’t fit into the system but it's all about the approach from both young and old artistes. You would realize that most of these young artistes pick some lines from our old songs which clearly mean they take inspiration from us in their respective songs,”

He made this plea on GNA Entertainment in an interview.

Dada KD then shared knowledge on his own movements, as he claimed that he should have released an album in the past year if not for the Coronavirus.

“Highlife carries a unique weight of sound and special production goes into it. I started releasing some singles last year and tried to do what most musicians do nowadays, but it is not what I’m known for. So am still working on a mega album which I would release later in the year,’’
