Kwabena Kwabena has asserted that the sky is vast for all musicians to shine at their own time simultaneously, hence it’s wrong for competition or rivalry to raise its ugly head amongst them.
The veteran Highlife specialist, best remembered for his monster hit song Aso, told Graphic that the unhealthy rivalry between artistes causes a rift that should be avoided.
“In fact, any musician who sees another musician as a threat or his competitor is not creative. We should rather appreciate other musicians’ work and give them room to operate.
“The music industry is big for every musician to operate and I don’t see the reason why we should be competing among ourselves. A talented artiste appreciates other artistes and does not have problems with them,” disclosed.
Asked his opinion on the likes of Kuami Eugene, KiDi and the Kumericans who seem to be taking all the shine now, Kwabena Kwabena said he admired them a lot and enjoyed listening to their songs but there was still room for improvement.
“Inasmuch as these young ones are doing so well, they need to do more when it comes to their stage performances and good lyrics for their songs. It takes time to grow and I trust that with time, they will be fine. The young ones need encouragement rather than criticism. We all started like this but with determination and hard work we are here now. I learnt from the likes of Kojo Antwi, Daddy Lumba and Amakye Dede,” he stated.
“Our main aim as musicians is to make good quality music, not talking too much and bragging about what we mostly don’t even have. We talk too much, which I don’t get. We should stop talking and do the work. I believe in making my work speak for itself,” he added.
