Bacteria Drops ?Asem?

After many years of dealing with ups and downs of the music biz, Bacteria known in real life as Walter Mawuli Gli knows a thing or two about perseverance. Born on 10th April 1979 in Accra, the young rag life breed has made an impact on the Ghanaian music scene. He started doing music way back in school and has performed with big guys like Tic Tac, Buk Bak, Ex Doe, Mad Fish et al.

His dream of becoming famous began when he featured on Nkasei?s first album which nearly turned Ghana upside down. Later on, he did a song titled ?Mi Feeli Wo? with Mad Fish on Billy Ocean?s New Generation? album. The sensational artiste then featured on Nkasei?s second album and Lucky Mensah?s track titled ?Brofre Nie? which made him build his name on the streets.

Now Ghana, pay attention: the lyrical controller is out with an album titled ?Asem? which has 10 lovely songs and is under the label of Odwenenanaoma Records. First on the album is ?Agyeiwaa? which will make eavesdroppers rewind their cassettes or CD?s two or three times. Following closely is the second version of ?Maame? which features Okomhyefour. Bacteria gives us a glimpse of his newly sharpened skills when he sings ?Bacteria Benz? with K.K Fosu. Indeed, this track is really going to dominate the chart.

?Mifrefre? featuring Paa Sammy-a song which compels you to abandon yourself to his infectious rhythm comes next on the album. Other songs on the album include ?Dede? featuring Paa Sammy, ?Dada Ba? featuring Opanbuo, ?Oda Babi? featuring Obrempong and Paa Sammy and ?Agye Owuo?.

He will definitely break ground with his entertaining album. When it comes to rag life, listeners have only seven names in mind- Bacteria, Batman, Borax, Bandanna, Bonchaka Terry, Mad Fish and Yoggi Doggi.
