Founder of the National Democratic Congress, former President Jerry John Rawlings may have decided to stay away from active political campaigning, but life goes on as usual.
The former President yesterday received a visit from popular Ghanaian musician, King Ayisoba who describes the former military leader as a mentor.
Accompanied by his band and some family members, Ayisoba, born Albert Apoozore, livened up the meeting with a rendition of his hit song ‘I want to see you my father’, which got the former President to thump his feet in rhythmic movement.
Born in north-eastern Ghana, King Ayisoba started learning the two-string lute, the kologo, as a small child from his traditional healer grandfather. As a young man, he moved to Accra where he scored a massive hit with his song, ‘I want to see you my father,’ a raw kologo-driven song that cut through the standard popular genre of hiplife, highlife and hip-hop.
