The family of the Late Nnwomtofohene Nana Kwame Ampadu has officially informed The Rt. Hon. Speaker of his final funeral arrangements in Parliament today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe don\u2019t mourn musicians like Nana Ampadu; but rather, we celebrate them\u201d, the Speaker said as he welcomed the delegation to Parliament.\u00a0Mr. Speaker eulogized the veteran singer for his storytelling artistry and dancing techniques which, he thinks had contributed greatly to the development of Ghana\u2019s music industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He called on the Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to write the lyrics to his songs as well as identify the quotes for future reference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hon. Kofi Attoh, Speaker\u2019s Adviser and a former Member of Parliament for Ho West, called for the need to include the study of Nana Ampadu\u2019s songs at the various universities since he believes this initiative when considered would keep his legacy moving on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Highlife Legend passed on at age 76. According to his family, he will be laid in state on Friday 7th October 2022 at the Forecourt of The State House, Accra then conveyed to his Hometown at Obo- Kwahu in the Eastern region for\u00a0interment and final\u00a0funeral rites on 8th October 2022.<\/p>\n
