I will campaign for Akufo-Addo – Kwabena Kwabena

Sensational hi-life musician, George Kwabena Adu popularly known in showbiz circles as Kwabena Kwabena has noted that he will campaign for the New Patriotic Party’s Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo again if he is invited to do so.

Kwabena Kwabena in an interview with The Weekend Moment newspaper said he cherishes Nana Akufo-Addo for the part he has played in the democratic process in the country. “I like him (Nana Addo) for the role he has played in the democratic process of the country.

“In 2008 Nana Addo personally invited me to join the campaign team and if he needs my services in 2012, why not?” he queried. Kwabena Kwabena played a major role in the NPPs 2008 elections and sang most of his popular songs on the campaign platform for Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, who lost the election by a slim margin.

According to him plans are far advanced for his live music videos to be shot in five regions in Ghana under the auspices of kbkb music production.

The multiple music award winner has contributed massively in sustaining the hi-life music industry in the country over the last few years.

On his latest album featuring Tinny dubbed ‘bibini ba’ he said “It’s making progress and I am amazed how the song is travelling at a very fast rate both in Ghana and on the international front”. Kwabena Kwabena said he is a draughtsman by profession but his passion for music has totally changed his line of profession.

He said he is not a happy person because of low patronage of music which is making it very difficult for most musicians in Ghana. “Looking at the stress one goes through to put up lyrics, going to the studio to put it on record and getting it officially released with an album launch, only for one to walk into the manager’s office to see the whole stuff seated in the office, which we hope will change in the near future”. He said.

He thanked his wife Madam Abena Owusuwaa for being there for him and said she is the “reason why I live and nothing can separate us”. On the Ghana music awards he said “we expect the best to carry the day.

“Finally I will like to congratulate every individual who have contributed a quarter to my success and where I am now. I thank God and all my fans”.
