WutahWutah, one of Ghana's best duos, is coming back with a brand new album. It's sooo good I don't even know the title :-) Wutah's sophomore showing would be the mouthpiece for the less privileged in society. It is to tackle various social ills and blames the plight of the less privileged on the leaders.

The album is composed of 15 tracks, some of which are 'last days', 'burning desire', 'survivors', 'ekyinkyin akyinkyin', 'true love', etc. The album features rocky dawuni, king ayisoba, panji, sonti (mzantsi), among others. Wutah also organized a charity concert to raise money from flood victims. Papa Virus and Wutah Risky are stepping out in a bold move and I pray they succeed. Ghanaian music needs something like this and on the back of Wutah's previous success, the messages would be loud and clear and impactful. Watch out for more info on Wutah's new album.

I was worried about the silence surrounding Wutah. I can't wait to hear their new tracks on radio and I hope they make a number of music videos to help promote them. The absence of music videos for hits like Big dreams and Esikyire are absolute crimes. Black Kapricorn, listen up and other record labels should go to their aid cuz Wutah is the truth.

Stay tuned, Museke would bring you all the filla. They say there is no smoke without fire, well, there is no Museke without filla, or is it vice versa?

Wutah needs to make some music videos. Kwabena Kwabena too hasn't released a video (at least, I haven't seen one). I am wondering if Wutah's success is being troubled and limited by Payola? Or are the new songs not that good?
Wutah couldn't get signed on to Madd Haus?
Delisaa, keep us posted if you find their new album please.

Ok, so Wutah Story!

"Big Dreams" came on my radio the other day and the DJs had a competition where they asked whos the artist and what song it is. So no one got it right, people phoned in saying anything from Bob Marley to Jay Z (??) Too funny. Okay, so of course Museke's Swazibella gets through (after much holding and redialling)! Amen to my Ghanaian friends who just basically won me some free airtime!

Museke is the rockas I tell you!

Amen! that's a great story. This is the aim of museke, to sensitize awareness of African songs everywhere for Africans everywhere :-)
Good job Swazibella

It has been long in coming but the much-loved duo called Wutah is at last out with the follow-up album to their debut collection and they have titled it Burning Desire.

’Wutah’ means ‘fire’ in Hausa and the young men-Frank and Kobby-seem to be on fire to express what they can do with their talents.
Since the release of their debut album, Anamontuo in 2004, Wutah has endeared themselves to music lovers irrespective of the age bracket.

Their unique stage style, choice of lyrics and general composure during performances keep their audience dancing, tapping their feet or simply singing along to popular tracks like Goosie Gander, Adonko and Big Dreams which won the Best Reggae Song honour at the 2005 Gnana Music Awards.

The new seven-track Burning Desire album is on the Blaqkapricon Music label and Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) is the Executive Producer. It contains the recognisable Wutah elements like danceable rhythms topped with delightful harmonic vocal rendition.

The duo apparently decided to show themselves off more as singers on this album and from the title track to others like Kotosa and Abibuo Twenebo they are singers rather than rappers.

Kotosa is rendered in Twi, Ga and English and has a lively highlife feel with pleasant saxophone forays. Aseda Ndwom is a slow, inspiring prayer-like piece featuring Kwabena Kwabena.

The reggae itch is still present in their system and the duo vent it out on a track in English called Carpenter.

The lyrics carry romantic undertones just like Kotosa, Lover’s Lane and Abibifuo Twenebo. One of the tracks from the debut album that caught on well with the public was Change Your Style and there is a remix of that song on the new album.

Wutah is so well known now that many would be keen to check out what they have to say again with their music.

It is early yet to state which specific track would capture listeners but it is clear that the duo are keen to show their flexibility as musicians and it is certain that the songs will grow on listeners as the weeks go by.
