Nana Quame once said on radio that he felt he was Ghana's best singer, well, because he wasn't going to say someone could sing better than him.
Well, he was on Joy FM's Mega hits promoting his latest album, the first single of which is called Asew Konofo
Video here
..What does that mean?
Nice vid! Lots of lekker dancing.
asew konofo means 'sweet' in-law, song says something about he (Nana Quame) telling his in-law, he loves her daughter basically - her daughter's medicine is sweet, etc
More on Nana Quame
Listened to him on Citi FM in the morning with Bernard Avle, he was in the studio with Kwabena Kwabena too.
He did one of his new tracks called 'Me do no' and collaborated with Kwabena squared on jingles for Citi FM and other songs. It was rather funny when he called Kwabena his 'big brother' taking into account the fact that he's been in the limelight longer, for almost 10 years.
Bernard asked him why his Kwame is spelt Quame and he said KKD (the finest) gave him that unique name cuz of his unique voice. I agree.
