Kofi Kinaata
Martin King Arthur, popularly known as Kofi Kinaata in the music scene, has insisted that he is not carrying on the legacy set by the likes of Ebo Taylor, Paapa Yankson, and others.
In a one-on-one interview with Amansan Krakye, Kofi Kinaata expressed that the 'Fante-singing' music legends have accomplished feats that no one in the current generation can replicate.
"What the likes of Ebo Taylor and the legendary veterans have done in the Ghanaian music scene, some of us in the current generation cannot do," he remarked.
"It's just that now it's our time to do our own thing and play our part, so we continue holding on until a lot of people also get involved," he opined.
"But to be sincere, what the legendary musicians like Paapa Yankson, Pat Thomas, and the rest have done, and the kind of songs they created, are evergreen.
"Even today, when I hear some of the songs that Paapa Yankson did, I tell myself that these legends have already done everything in the music scene."
He added, "I'm glad that people feel that I'm holding on to the Fante legacy in the music space, but I've got nothing on them to continue what the legends did."
