I’m not desperate for my music to cross borders- Kofi Kinaata

Award-winning singer-songwriter, Kofi Kinaata has stated emphatically his lack of interest of pushing his music beyond the shores of Ghana.

Although crossing international borders has become a goal for most musicians in Ghana, Kofi Kinaata is not eager to “follow the crowd.”

Speaking in an interview with Y 97.9 FM’s Macall Mensah during the ‘Ryse N Shyne’ show, the “Thy Grace” hitmaker explained that he isn’t desperate for his music to travel out of Ghana.

“I am not desperate for that, though everyone wants to cross boundaries it is a planned work, you don’t follow the crowd and do as others are doing, I am not desperate to go beyond the borders, my feature with Patoranking is part of the steps to put in place,” he said.

Kofi kinaata, who is known for his music writing prowess in the “Fante” dialect also added that although he has seen comments from fans who are eager to hear him sing in English, he doesn’t think language matters.

“I don’t think music has a language, melodies don’t have languages, we listen to a lot of songs, we listen to them but we don’t understand, if you have to let them understand your music before they listen, songs are not sermons and even if you do not understand the song you should relate with the melodies,” he added.
