Thus, Ghanaians gave birth to High Life genre, therefore, artistes who do High Life are well respected because they seek to continue an aspect of Ghana\u2019s material culture.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Bisa Kdei, a renowned contemporary High Life artiste has stated categorically that Ghanaian musicians who\u2019re doing other genres of music aside High Life are not recognized in the outside world. He made this assertion in and interview with QuooFante, host of \u2018AroundTown Entertainment\u2019 on Kessben TV in Kumasi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a High Life artiste. I\u2019m not saying doing Dancehall is bad as an artiste but High Life is ours. You can\u2019t do Hip Hop, Dancehall, others, better than those who originated it. We\u2019ve to push our own \u2013 High Life to those in the outside world. Truth be told, I\u2019m recognized outside Ghana more than my colleagues who\u2019re doing other genres,\u201d Bisa revealed.<\/p>\n<p>On records, Bisa Kdei isn\u2019t the only artistes to have said this as veteran musician Gyedu Blay Amboley on several occasions have crashed Shatta Wale over Dancehall king tag. To him, how on earth can someone be king of something that doesn\u2019t belongs to him or her? Perhaps Bisa Kdei line of reasoning is synonyms to the veteran musician.<\/p>\n<p>Watch video below; pay attention to the ending.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h_cOnpKXa6Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 71 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 7 February 2018 Source: ghbase.com 2018-02-07 play videoBisa Kdei Among all the music genres (Hip Life, Hip Hop, Dancehall, RnB, Reggae, etc), High Life genre happens to be Ghana\u2019s indigenous music.
