I Want To Be Like Daddy Lumba And Amakye Dede – Sarkodie
Sarkodie talks about future plans
Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie praises legendary highlife singer, Charles Kwadwo Fosu aka Daddy Lumba. Furthermore, this is about his consistency in the music business.
Moreover, he made these statements at the 5th edition of All Africa Music Awards launch in Accra. He stated that legends like Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi, and Amakye Dede have failed to release hit songs in recent times. However, they still charge huge sums of money . This is due to the good songs they released years back.
Also, according to him, he believes the ‘Awoso’ singer and his colleagues released timeless songs. These songs will never die from the system and that is why they still get thousands attending their concerts.
Furthermore, Sark revealed that Lumba sometime past told him that musicians of today are focused on going international. Therefore, they forget that they need to conquer the country before getting the outside recognition they want.
Therefore, he advised his colleagues to work on building followers in Ghana instead of the cash.
Moreover, the Sarkcess Music boss stated that
“I want to end up like Daddy Lumba who won’t sing the whole year but can wake up any month and organize shows and will still take any amount maybe I (Sarkodie) cannot charge. He still rocks big shows without any hit song.”
