The multiple award-winning
Ghanaian musician seemed to be suggesting that P-Square had stolen Ghana’s
Azonto dance and made it Alingo dance.
Samini is apparently not
happy with the group because he thinks its Alingo is an adaptation of Ghana’s
Azonto. However, he created the impression that the duo had shamefully failed
to admit it.
For Samini, Alingo was
clearly Azonto dance steps.
“The name sounds like Azonto, the dance kinda
looks like Azonto, so try show me something I don’t know,” Samini interestingly
said in his sample version of P-Square’s
popular song, Alingo which originally came with the Alingo dance.
“I see that you are
dancing Azonto, so what is Alingo? Are you dancing Azonto or Alingo? What is
Alingo? I see that you dancing Azonto, that is Azonto,” he added.
The new song was recorded
by Ephraim and had been circulating for some time now, according to sources but
NEWS-ONE chanced upon it this week.
Samini described P-Square as his “guys” but he
would not hesitate to tell them the truth.

Both Samini and P-Square have
shared several stages in Ghana in the past, obviously making them friends.
However, with the latest turn of events, it is likely their relationship would
not be the same.
Many Ghanaian
entertainment enthusiasts, fans and social commentators had always argued that
Alingo was Azonto.
Currently, Samini is the
only Ghanaian musician who has boldly come out to treat the topic by answering
P-Square via music.
Critiques say it will be
nice for Ghana’s music industry if musicians could be blunt on issues like
Samini has been.
“They should be able to
use their music to speak their mind on other issues affecting society.”
Meanwhile, the new song is
reportedly receiving a lot of download on some social networks and also
circulating on BlackBerry.
