Many were those that had presumed Kiki Gyan was gone forever, and not only was he no more, his musical talent could never be retrieved. Well, weep no more because in even in his grave, his lyrics and talent in playing his favourite instrument, the keyboards, will forever remain with us.
Trust your exciting Chronicle on Saturday to deliver on its promises. Thanks to our personality last week, the train had the opportunity of being the first to have listened to the vocals of the legend in his later days.
Though weak, frail and dying, he managed to record a ten-track masterpiece with maximum support from the studio of Fredyma whose workers offered him the chance to exhibit his creativity, after being thrown out by several recording studios in the country ostensibly because of his addiction to cocaine.
The fable behind Kiki?s producer is still a mystery, as unconfirmed information reaching the Chronicle on Saturday revealed that the mysterious producer is one of the nation?s finest musicians, Kojo Antwi.
However, the officials of Studio Fredyma indicate that the producer wants to be anonymous for now. Whether there is a mysterious producer or not, the good news is Kiki?s collection is simply outstanding.
As if it was a pledge, the first track is titled ?No more cocaine?. In this fantastic track, he advised on the disastrous effects of cocaine and stressed on the fact that he was saying no to the deadly drug that was to send him to his grave.
His second track which he entitled ?Reach out? is one that the train will recommend ever national leader to listen to, as it talks of making the world a better place to live in. It also spells out the cruelty of violence in the world.
?Ye be ma wo so? and ?Me som Awuradze?, the fifth and sixth tracks, are his local gospel songs, in which he expresses the joy one experiences in worshipping God, while the ninth track, dubbed ?Blessed be the name of the Lord? is a smooth lyrical piece in the queen?s language.
In all, it was the third track ?Bad Boy? that swept the train off its feet. Here, he expresses his desire to be a good boy and briefly narrates his life from the age of 14, when he was on the road to fame, at the age of 17, he had lots of money to fame, at 25 there was nowhere he hadn?t been but sadly at the of 35, he was on the road to his grave.
Finally, the track that was voted to be the best by the train is ?Survival? which places fifth among the tracks. Kiki acknowledges his fortunes and situations that he was never able to control, but admits that God has been his pillar for survival.
As if he anticipated that his days were numbered, this final masterpiece has more to it than meets the eye. All we have to do is pray it finally lands on the shelves in the music fans.
