Samini’s ‘Kpoi’ gets competitor

It looks as if Emmanuel Andrew Samini would in the near future be dropping his “Kpoi” signature with which he has wooed a lot of music enthusiasts across the country over the years.

A fresh Twi phrase, Achii saa is emerging from the artiste’s camp. Meanwhile the singer’s manager Tony says there is no way the ‘Kpoi’ signature would be replaced with another since the expression is already synonymous with the name Samini. Watch Odo (Love) by Batman Samini

However Tony indicated he does not know what the future holds as anything could happen. He told Beatwaves Achii saa is a song on the new album. In that song Samini tells about how he was making advances at a lady, and used the expression Achii saa to indicate that his advances went through.

“I don’t know if Samini would be using it or something new would come up; it depends,” Tony added.

The singer, also described as the Sexy Don Dada and the king of Ghanaian dancehall by some local tabloids, launched his third album titled ‘Dagatti’ at an unforgettable event which attracted enthusiastic music fans as well as seasoned hiplife artistes including Kwabena Kwabena, who set the night rolling.

After him came Tinny, who prepared the stage for the MTN ambassador. Having got hold of the microphone, Samini held the audience spellbound after a marathon performance of both new and old songs.

The MTN-sponsored event attracted popular faces including George Andah, Tony Baffuor, Prof. Atukwei Okai, Daddy Bosco and many other players in the show business who came to give Samini their support. Samini dedicated the 21-track album to his fans for a peaceful election.

“I hope it brings joy, amusement and love to the minds of Ghanaians. Anytime you hear a song from the Dagatti album, let your mind focus on peace in the upcoming election. Ghana is all we have and we need to be careful; love her and protect her,” he said at the press pre-launching.

The album features top artistes from Nigeria, Kenya, UK, and Jamaica. Among them are Nameless, Sway and Steel Pulse.
