Here is part 2 of the interview we had with Batman Samini. Check out the first part here.

Museke: What musicians would you want to collaborate with?
Samini: Busta Rhymes, Timbaland, Sizzla, Luciano, Kanye West.

Museke: We heard recently that you are quitting miming. Aside the obvious, why are you doing so?
Samini: Because playing music live brings the best out of you as a performer, and you express your feelings the right way. I won’t opt for anything else other than a live show. The best thing to do as artiste is that.
I have never seen Kojo perform with a CD, growing up I never saw Bob Marley performing with a CD, and they are giants so if I want to be a giant, I must come like that.

This interview was done at Asaase Ase studios in Dansoman, Accra, Ghana. Thanks to Tony for hooking this up. March 20, 2008.

Museke: Can you tell us about your background, family and education?
Samini: I grew up in Dansoman. I am born and bred in Accra. I attended Holy Family Catholic school at Mataheko, and then went to St Margaret Mary Secondary school. I have 6 siblings made up of 4 boys and 2 girls and I am the 4th born.

Museke: How did you get into music?
Samini: I got into music through personal inspiration and inspiration from other people. I also had advice from close observers that I grew up with. Before I got into secondary school, I knew he had the talent. After school, I started actively.
I had been doing stage performance in secondary school and even before that, especially after junior secondary school. I sang songs from Steel Pulse, Bob Marley, Beenie man, Buju Banton, etc.

I heard about Blaq Suede recently through the Ghanaian movie, 'Run baby run'. They made the soundtrack for the movie and have a video for the song too. They also have been featuring in the Ghanaian media and I happened to catch them again on TV Africa's entertainment programme as well. They have the feel of a 5Five or Wutah and I am confident we'll be hearing more about them soon.
