Ghanaian musician and President of the Ghana Music Council, Ekow Micah is not pleased with the lyrical content of Shatta Wale\u2019s hit song \u2018Kpuu Kpaa,\u2019 Citi Showbiz<\/strong> has learnt.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Aba\u2019 singer told Christian Agyei Frimpong on Onua FM\u2019s entertainment show last Saturday that the \u2018kpuu kpaa\u2019 in the song is onomatopoeic of farts.<\/p>\n

\u201cA friend of mine told me his child came home singing \u2018kpuu kpaa kpuu kpaa.\u2019 When we were children you dare not talk about fart in the presence of elders. The song talks about farts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the current generation of musicians is not doing good music that will impact positively on the people that listen.<\/p>\n

Ekow Micah also bemoaned the weak systems and structures of the industry saying nothing seem to be working in the music industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ghana Music Council was the only body that could have solved the industry\u2019s problems but unfortunately we were not given the necessary push. I have been in the industry for a long time so my contribution is the solution,\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n

Ekow has been in the music industry for about 30 years with about ten albums such as \u2018Ashanti Reggae,\u2019 \u2018Nansayi Wayefe,\u2019 \u2018Masiwo Hemaa,\u2019 \u2018Odo Kasa,\u2019 \u201895 Cedis\u2019 amongst others.<\/p>\n
