Epixode\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghanaian musician Theophilus Nii Arday Otoo, known in showbiz as Epixode, says staying true to our indigenous sounds is the best way to promote Ghanaian music to the outside world.<\/p>\n

Epixode\u2019s assertion comes as he drops another highlife tune titled \u2018Obra\u2019, featuring one of Ghana\u2019s best traditional bands, Santrofi.<\/p>\n

Epixode\u2019s last single, \u2018Atia\u2019, received massive commendation from music lovers considering its unique composition and bagged a nomination as the Best Highlife Song of the Year at the upcoming Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA).<\/p>\n

According to the award-winning reggae and dancehall musician, the idea behind this series of highlife classics is to demonstrate his growth in music without entirely changing what he does.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always been an advocate of promoting indigenous sounds, especially highlife music, and I believe we can do so much with it. The only way we can sell our music to the outside world well is to stay original,\u201d he told GNA<\/em><\/strong> in an interview.<\/p>\n

When asked about the reason for featuring Santrofi on his new single, Epixode explained that \u2018Obra\u2019 is a live recorded session that features Santrofi, adding, \u201cI am a big fan of them, and we had to tape into the analogue sound and produce the \u2018Sekyi\u2019 highlife sound, and I hope Ghanaians will project this sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The newly released \u2018Obra\u2019 single is available across various streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
