King Ayisoba Guns For The Grammy's

After being crowned King at the 2006 Ghana Music Awards where he annexed three awards, King Ayisoba says he is now ready to take the world by storm. King Ayisoba slugged it out with other music heavyweights such as Ofori Amponsah, Obrafuor, Samini, Praye, Wutah, Lord Kenya and Kweku Gyasi to win the 'most popular song of the year' with his hit song ‘I want to see you my father'. The song was also declared the Traditional Song of the Year while he himself emerged the Discovery of the Year. The Kologo instrumentalist who hails from the northern part of Ghana now says he is ready to take the world and for that matter the Grammy’s by storm. Brimming with confidence, the affable musician who has already immortalized himself into the hearts of thousands of Ghanaians said “I think the time is right for me to hit BBC, CNN and the international market because the kind of music I do is very unique" According to him Kologo is a purely spiritual music so it's very different and it's taken quite a bit for people to appreciate it on that level because I struggled to get it noticed for a very long time," he says. "Kologo music is very similar to reggae. The styles and syllabus of both genres are very similar. Why won't you concentrate on the local scene for a while but have decided to zoom into the international arena? King Ayisoba has this to say: "I plan to enter the international market because Kologo tunes are redefining Ghanaian music. However those taking too long to catch it on, I'm sorry to tell them "it's too late." I'm now ready to take Ghanaian cultural music abroad and raise Ghana's flag high. Born June 1975 at Bongo SOE near Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region, King Ayisoba said he believes this year Ghana Music Awards will be very competitive, although he will not be among the strong contenders for this year. According to him Ghanaians should watch out for a surprise package. King Ayisoba says he has released his new album and come 2008 Ghana Music Awards, he says "only God can tell, it would be a reminiscence of 2006. Fuma!
