Nana Acheampong, the iconic figure in Ghanaian Highlife music, is advocating for a heartfelt tribute to veteran Highlife artists.
In a recent interview, he passionately appealed to GHAMRO and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture to immortalize the enduring contributions of luminaries like ET Mensah, Adane Best, Koo Nimo, Nana Ampadu, and Daddy Lumba.
He urged the naming of streets, roundabouts, and museums after these revered figures, recognizing their pivotal role in shaping the nation’s cultural identity.
Drawing from his own experiences, Acheampong shared how international recognition of his own legacy highlighted the importance of such gestures.
By honoring these pioneers, he believes we not only pay tribute to their legacy but also sow seeds of inspiration and education for future generations.
It’s a plea for recognition that echoes across generations, aiming to ensure that the rich tapestry of Ghanaian music remains woven into the fabric of national heritage.
