Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena says if Ghana was a serious country “whashawasay” will not trend.
“We popularize certain songs which in my opinion the sensationalism is too much and the humor is too much. Music is not comedy, music is serious business…”
According to him, while colleagues in other countries are focusing on making good music that will generate good income and also sell their countries, Ghanaians are focused on trivialities.
He believes that the country, its citizens, and especially entertainers should focus on music as a business and not something is done to while away time so that there can be some level of seriousness.
“Why are we playing with it. We always make examples with our neighbors. Have you seen how serious they are? They won’t sing whashawasay” he retorted.
Cecilia Marfo has for the past weeks been in the trends after videos of her trying to sing English songs with the wrong pronunciation of the words in the song.
Popular amongst them is “what Shall I say Unto The Lord” which she pronounces as “whashawasay”.
