One of Ghana’s highlife greats, Oheneba Kissi is set to outdoor his group,” Harmattan Crew,” by the end of this year.
The group which he said, had been in existence for over 20 years and performed across the country and beyond, would be officially outdoored to serve as his legacy.
Speaking to The Spectator, the ABC of Love hitmaker said the intention was to maintain the authentic Ghana¬ian highlife.
“Even if we are moving away, we must keep the rich highlife that would survive over a decade. This is a group that plays pure highlife which would also translate into our recordings,” he stated.
“Highlife is a very unique and beautiful rhythm. Anybody who wants highlife could fall on us,” he stressed.
He urged young artistes to honour the nation by keeping highlife while taking into consideration the lyrics they come out with as they would remain forever.
The group, he said, was made up of averaging 15 people (both males and females) and would ensure the group stayed with him whenever he performs in Accra and beyond.
“I realised that I am an individual and could pass, so even when I depart this world, the group would be my legacy,” he stated.
Just as Nana Kwame Ampadu passed on last year he said, his group African Brothers were still there do¬ing great things.
“I want to leave a good legacy and help groom the young ones to be¬come better and take on the highlife journey to greater heights,” he explained.
“It has been a tough journey with the group but the future is very bright as I have gained experience over the years to manage them better,” he added.
