The high life legend, Great Alone Man being a composer, a singer and an instrumentalist said that the history of Ghanaian music can only be derived from hi-life music. He said this in respect with the question posed to him by this reporter.

“My son, not that we want to quench or kill the talent of today’s youth but rather we want to advise them to take the right path. It is always good to learn from our elders and to go along with our culture rather than copying from the different world. I believe that Ghana has lots of talent so it is up to us to work on them so that we can also hit the international market. Copying can never send us there. That is why till now; none of the hip life musicians has been able to hit the international market. The world wants to see real talent originally and with that you will be accepted,” Nana Attuquayefio reiterated.
