Akon said, "Burna Boy has the swagger of Nigeria and Ghana." It's like saying an American has the swagger of Mexico or Canada, because they are in the same hemisphere as America. Ghana has nothing to do with Nigeria or Burna Boy. But it is so adorable that the diaspora speaks about Africa as ONE. However, Ghana and Nigeria are not close. Nigeria and Ghana do not even share borders as the US does with Canada and Mexico. Indeed, some Ghanaians even want to ban Nigeria's Afrobeat out of envy.
Afrobeats didn’t start in Nigeria. Remember when Nigeria was trying to steal Azonto? Go and ask Fela Kuti about how much he borrowed from highlife music during his stay in Ghana
@@Bigfoot985Rumours! Ghanaians have become chronic fantasists in recent years! Fela Kuti was from an upper middle class family, as a middle child, both his older brother and younger brother studied medicine and were doctors!! Fela Kuti was also a cousin of writer, activist, Nobel laureate and literary icon Wole Soyinka! Fela Kuti was meant to study medicine in England just like his brothers, but opted for music instead! He studied at the renowned Trinity College of music in London. While still in London, he formed his first band Koola Lobitos and was burning up London with his band before he relocated back home! Now while Ghana may like to claim Highlife music as theirs, Nigeria was self sufficient with our own Highlife musicians in the 1950's,60's and 70's... Including musicians like Rex Lawson, Bobby Benson, Inyang Henshaw, Roy Chicago and Victor Olaiya who Fela actually played for when he returned to Nigeria!! Fela could read music, he could play the trumpet, the saxophone and the organ with consummate ease! Did Fela go to Ghana? Of course yes he did ! Multiple times!! His mother Funmilayo Ransom-Kuti was a political activist who Kwame Nkrumah had a lot of respect for! In fact, he had a few Ghanaians as band members for a while, just like Ghanaian band Osibisa had Nigerian musicians in their band too! Fela had acquaintances in Ghana too, including Ebo Taylor who had admitted multiple times that Fela introduced him to his music Afrobeat!! There is nothing Ghana could teach an enigmatic music maestro such as Fela Kuti! There are no recordings in the music archives of Ghana that resembles anything Fela Kuti recorded. So this false narrative has to stop, it needs to stop! Full Stop! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬 !!
