You don’t need to speak ‘Patois’ before you do Reggae Music – Kinaata
There are a lot of different qualities of love, but I focused on one in particular for a girl who is confident and able to defend herself, but others mistake that for arrogance, he said.

Kofi Kinaata claims that some people think one needs to be able to speak Jamaican patois in order to perform reggae music.
The Fante singing musician remarked that despite leaving out the basic patois from his new song, Effiakuma Love, he is confident that his audience will still find it compelling.
He explained, "There were a lot of things that led me to do Effiakuma Love, especially when you pay close attention to the lyrics and vibes I employed in the song.
"Some people think that you have to be able to speak the Jamaican patois or a certain language before you can do reggae, but I sung in Fante on a reggae beat," Kinaata said in an interview with Amansan Krakye that aired on Property FM in Cape Coast.
He continued, "Besides, I was talking about a love message. Singing in the local dialect on a reggae beat has made a lot of people relate to Effiakuma Love song more.
The most extensively used language in the nation is Jamaican Patois, sometimes referred to as Patwa and Jamaican Creole.
There are 2.7 million Jamaicans who speak Jamaican Patois, an English creole that developed during the slave trade, as opposed to the 50,000 people who are said to speak English.
