It?s Goldcoast Time With Buk Bak

Yes, they said they were going to be back and true to their words, Buk Bak, are back with a bang with the release of their fifth album titled ?Goldcoast?.

The hiplife duo are re-entering the market with their trade mark explosive hit songs, and this nine-track album has such good songs that promise to be an instant hit and a chart breaker.

You may call it a sequel to the ?Sika Kokoo?. The latest album follows the typical Buk Bak tradition, perfected in the previous album, which exploits day-to-day street jargon to compose easy-to-sing lyrics.

?Helepu? on the Goldcoast actually tries to depict the manner in which someone in need cries for help. The next song, ?Gonja Barracks?, portrays to how people are prepared to hold on to their loved ones even if they were sent to the Gonja Barracks, which, to the ordinary Ghanaian, is an institution for representation of ?the chamber of torture?. ?Deinpo? (mini) desperately tries to find out the reasons for persecutions and criticisms of an innocent soul.

Already these three songs are enjoying a great deal of airplay on the local radio stations barely three weeks after the album released, and industry watchers predict that it would just be a matter of weeks and the songs would start showing their strength on the local chart shows.

One interesting aspect of this album is the ability of Buk Bak to fuse their style with the francophone beat, giving it some international dimension.

Another track, ?Tanekase (muji)? is adopted as a special campaign song on sanitation, which will soon be used for a special project on cleanliness in the country. ?Kakalika? is the other song on the new album telling the story of the destructive nature of cockroaches and ridicules how they destroy all the belongings of a wife.

As if the first five songs are not enough, Buk Bak gives listeners additional instrumentals versions of the first three songs on the album.

Buk Bak hit the Ghanaian music scene with their debut album ?Komi Ke Kena? in 1998 and followed it up with their second album their second album ?Awiesem? in 2000 with hit songs like ?Akwasi Broni? and ?Chimgilingi?. In 2001 the group released ?Nkomkye? which had songs as ?Kelewele? and ?Trotro?. But it was their fourth album, ?Sika Kokoo? which gave them the big leap culminating in the winning of three awards at the fourth Ghana Music Awards with hits songs ?Klublofo? and ?Kakatsofa?.

Buk Bak are taking music lovers down the Goldcoast lane with their unique style and blend of rap music, packaged in pegin English and perfectly interlaced with Ga and Twi.

Executive Producer of the group, Nana Asa Mensah of Agiecoat Production has hinted that Goldcoast will be launched with a grand concert featuring Buk Bak and friends. He is not hiding his optimism that the album will be a chart breaker considering the unique style of the duo.
