He intends to be seen as a Highlife maestro who is still musically gifted to produce songs in other genres like Afro fusion, Afrobeat and even Reggae. His core fan base who live for love ballads are not forgotten on the album.<\/p>\n<p>The title \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 is itself a metaphor and in many ways symbolic of what Akwaboah\u2019s brand and musician stands for. A lighthouse provides guidance to those who are lost at sea and seeking refuge \u2013 they can always look to the light from a lighthouse and find their way back home.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Akwaboah with this album is alluding to himself as that authentic Ghanaian Highlife maestro who is grounded in the time-tested genre called Highlife, and is a light that perpetually directs all to good music.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 album is scheduled for release in November 2023.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akwaboah\u00a0 Highlife sensation Akwaboah Jnr is setting in motion a series of promotional activities to herald the release of his much anticipated \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 album next month.
