Funerals form an integral part of the cultural set-up of the Ghanaian society but not everybody has cultivated the habit of attending them when they come.<\/p>\n
One may have observed that most times, young people do not attend funerals. They usually see it as the preserve of elderly.<\/p>\n
This was exactly the situation at the funeral of the late highlife legend Paapa Yankson at the forecourt of State House in Accra on Saturday, 21st<\/sup> October, 2017.<\/p>\n The funeral was heavily attended by old musicians like Pat Thomas, AB Crentsil, Gyedu-Blay Ambulley, Rex Omar, Yaw Sarpong, Charles Amoah, Nana Kwame Ampadu, Sidiku Buari and Abirekyieba Kofi Sammy.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Others were, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Tagoe Sisters, Nana Fynn, Rev. Thomas Yawson, Rev. Mary Ghansah, Bice Osei Kuffuor, Rex Omar, among others.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
