You don’t need to speak ‘Patois’ before you do Reggae Music
Award-winning Highlife artiste, Kofi Kinaata has stated that some people think you have to be able to speak Jamaican ‘patois’ before you can do reggae music.
Talking about his new reggae-inspired song titled ‘Effiakuma Love’, the popular songwriter said a lot of people can relate to the lyrics because it was done in the Fante dialect.
He answered “A lot of things inspired me to do Effiakuma Love especially when you listen carefully to the lyrics and vibes that I used in the song.
“Some people think that you have to be able to speak the Jamaican patois or a certain language before you can do reggae but I sung in Fante on a reggae beat,” Kinaata told Amansan Krakye seen by MyNewsGh.com
He continued on Cape Coast-based Property FM “Singing in the local dialect on a reggae beat has made a lot of people relate more to Effiakuma Love song and besides I was talking about a love message.
“There are so many aspects of love but I chose a certain part to highlight on a girl who is outspoken and able to explain herself but people misconstrue her confidence for arrogance,” he concluded.
