All hail the youngest Ghanaian group – The Americanos


My heart was gladden when Kevin and Jeffero, two determined young up and coming artistes gave me a phone call that they wanted to part of the hiplife movement.


Kevito or Super Kevito (Kevin Sakyi Bempah), 14 years and Jeffro( Jeffrey Boakye Yiadom), 14 years, collectively known  as The Americanos have promised Ghanaian music fans that they will be creating a new musical phenomenon that will carve a unique niche in the music industry.


Stationed in the United States of America, The Americanos dares to be different but anyone who witnesses these boys and listened to their few demos  will agree that these kids really know how to get the attention of music lovers


Even though they are very young, The Americanos does it their way, with clean lyrics, age-appropriate content and good old- fashioned charm. To Add to this, the boys’ got some good looks.


For now, The Americanos are planning visit Mother Ghana soon to get their works executed well by the best song engineers in Ghana and a few artistes to guest on the album.


The yet to be released maiden album of The Americanos  is definitely one to ride to, so why don’t you read the rest of the 1 on 1 interview with Kevito and Jeffro.
