Being from Cape Coast doesn’t mean all my songs should be sung in Fante

Highlife artiste and songwriter, Nana Kwame Ampah known in showbiz as Quarme Zaggy has revealed why he sings mostly using Twi dialect despite being a Fante native.

“I don’t think singing with the Twi dialects in my song is something serious because my first ever song was done in the Fante language,” he said on Cape Coast-based Kastle FM.

According to Quarme Zaggy who comes from Cape Coast in the Central Region, he said as a musician you can sing in different languages because music is a universal language. 

“As a musician have to be creative and versatile, so you can express yourself in any language you like in your songs because music itself is a universal language,” he added on the Kastle Drive Show.

Justifying his preference for singing in the Twi dialect instead of Fante, Quarme Zaggy disclosed that being a Cape Coaster doesn’t mean all his songs should be sung only in Fante.

“I can sing in other different languages so being a Fante from Cape Coast doesn’t mean I should sing using only the fante dialect in all my songs,” he told Amansan Krakye in an interview.
