Veteran
highlife musician Kaakyire Kwame Appiah is planning to stage a new highlife
reality show in celebration of top musicians in Ghana’s entertainment industry.
The
show will be dubbed ‘Who Are You?’
Basically,
Kaakyire and his team will interview people of different status in society and
ask them about who they are and also find out about what they think about the
state of highlife music in Ghana.
“The
reality show is Kaakyire’s way of raising some attention and heightening
concerns to recue highlife from a possible extinct,” a close source to Kaakyire
Kwame Appiah told NEWS-ONE.
Kaakyire was last in the news over his fracas
with fellow highlife musician Samuel Owusu.
“Kaakyire
has allegedly used one of Samuel Owusu’s popular songs titled ‘Abusua Kyirika’ for his newly-produced
movie without permission from Samuel Owusu.”
The
movie was based on the story of the song which was released some many years ago
when highlife used to be the most patronized music in Ghana. Interestingly, the
movie bears the same title as the song.
Samuel
has reportedly threatened to go to court to seek redress but Kaakyire has been
sending top members of Samuel’s family as well as colleague top musicians to
apologize on his behalf. Meanwhile, Samuel has not given any indication that he
will let go.
