Love Paapa Kwabina Sings "Ghana Mmaa Hoofe"
...Ghanaian women are beautiful indeed
At The 2005 GMA UK awards in London, one gentleman among the few who came very early was standing at a corner, waiting patiently for the event to start. As the sound engineers and the organizers were putting finishing touches to the event, the gentleman met this writer and greetings were exchanged in our usual Ghanaian fashion, where he realized that the writer was from the media, the gentleman known as Love Paapa Kwabina mentioned that he has a released a new album and wanted it to be reviewed.
Back home safely in America, the opportunity came for the CD to be heard. When the CD was inserted in the stereo for the first time, the two tracks on the 16 song album entitled, Ghana mmaa hoofe (Ghanaian women are beautiful) were skipped to listen to the third track “Les milele”. Being a fan of Kpalogo the songs heard and the creativity behind it were incredible. “Les milele”s intro will be mistaken to be a soca song but it is a mixture of kpalogo and fused with soca. It is a cross between Gyedu Blay Ambolley and Paapa Yankson. One will never stop listening to that song and will keep reminding "the selector to rewind”. “Ghana Mmaa Ahoofe” the title track, gives credence to the beauty and charisma of the Ghanaian women. The momen! t you see the beauties walking and you are exactly attracted to them.
Love Paapa made a wise move to make it aware that our women are beautiful and the world should recognize that. It is a stark constrast to the rushing to the get a hit record or becoming an overnight Hiplife artist with a song which is not worth listening to anymore and can disappear in the face of the earth within few months. The artist took his time to come up with a great concept to please the listener especially the intro of track 13, “Africa Unite”, a reggae track which was well produced. It is a great track for the lovers of reggae and LPK sounded like reggae hotshots; the late Dennis Emmanuel Brown, Kojo Antwi, and Sanchez. Singing a conscious so! ng about unity and peace brings to mind superstar; Bob Nester Marley and Peter Tosh’s “Equal Rights and Justice” and Batman also sings about peace in his album.
LPK has become creative by infusing soca, reggae and Highlife to come out with an album called; “Ghana mmaa hoofe ”. The album caters for the young, the not too old and and the old so check it out.
