It\u2019s been five months since veteran musician Kwadwo Akwaboah died and his son, highlife musician Kwabena Akwaboah Jnr. \u2018dreads\u2019 life without him.<\/p>\n
Akwaboah Jnr. does not know how he will cope without his father around anymore explaining he had a very good relationship with his father who was also his best critic.<\/p>\n
Describing the relationship with his father, Akwaboah Jnr. said, \u201cI was closer to him than anyone else in the world. My dad was everything to me. With him now gone, who would be straight with me and tell it to me as it is? Indeed, it\u2019s been tough without him and I am going to miss him greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, what I had with my dad was so strong that I hear from him every day and I always run to him when something beats my mind. It will be hard to replace him because he was the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to my music career, he was there for me. I am who I am today because of him. I never released a song without passing it by him. He will literally critique all the songs I sent him and trust me, he was great at what he did,\u201d the Obiaa singer told Graphic .<\/p>\n
Akwaboah Jnr. revealed that apart from \u2018Awerekyekyere\u2019 remix he did with his father, there were a number of songs he had planned to do to work on with the late musician.<\/p>\n
\u201cAwerekyekyere remix was his song but I also had songs I wanted to feature him on and it is unfortunate he is no more. I wanted to do a collabo with my father on some selected songs from my repertoire, but that can\u2019t be possible anymore\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Giving details on his father\u2019s funeral arrangements, Akwaboah Jnr. said there will be wake-keeping on Friday, September 29 at Trede, Ashanti Region followed by burial on Saturday, September 30 at Trede.<\/p>\n
The final funeral rites come off after burial at Heroes Park, Kumasi Sports Stadium on September 30.<\/p>\n
Songs he has to his credit are Hold Me Down, Posti Me, Hello, I Do Love You, Hye Me Bo, Mengye Mani, Number One, Love Unfair, Let You Go, Matters of the Heart, Enjoy, Picture, Password and Open Your Heart.<\/p>\n
