Music duo\u00a0Wutah\u00a0has revealed that they took inspiration from veteran Nzema highlife artiste, Safohene Gyeni\u2019s \u2018Nea Ye Boe\u2019 song.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Bernard Avle on Citi Breakfast Show Thursday, Afriyie, a member of the music group said they always draw inspiration from old songs to compose new ones and stated that their hit song \u2018Bronya\u2019 has its major taken melodies from \u2018Nea Ye Boe.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know we always tap from the old. The secret behind this song is that we took we took melodies of Safohene Gyeni\u2019s \u2018Nea Ye Boe\u2019. So highlife melodies are embedded here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Few months ago, manager of\u00a0Wutah, Babiee Dapaah told\u00a0Citi Showbiz<\/strong>\u00a0that the song was recorded before the group went their separate ways in 2010.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s true. Bronya was done before they broke up. We only took it to Kin Dee to redo it. So it is not a new song,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n In the meantime, an artiste called Zenabu has accused\u00a0Wutah\u00a0for stealing her song for \u2018Bronya.\u2019<\/p>\n According her, she featured\u00a0Wutah\u2019s Afriyie on her song in 2005 and because it was not popular the group decided to revisit it, tweak it to create \u2018Bronya.\u2019<\/p>\n She added that even though they did not take the entire song, the fact that they picked some of the lines means they had not been fair to her.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen somebody want to steal your song, they take the punch lines; sometimes the chorus, sometimes something that will cripple you from bringing yours. They stole my song and the evidence is there to prove,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n In Akan when one says\u00a0\u201cy\u025bbro deda, y\u025bntw\u025bn bronya,\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0it literally means they don\u2019t wait till Christmas to get drunk. The connotative meaning therefore, is that they don\u2019t wait for a particular event to take place before they take an action of urgency.<\/p>\n Wutah\u00a0came into the limelight in 2004 when it contested for the Nescafe Africa Revelation music competition in Accra and came second to Praye.<\/p>\n \u2018Anamontuo,\u2019 their first album had songs like \u2018Adonko\u2019, \u2018Goosie Gander\u2019 and \u2018Big Dreams.\u2019<\/p>\n In 2010, they separated and started recording their solo projects. Afriyie has released song like \u2018I Do,\u2019 \u2018Love of My Life,\u2019 \u2018Tontonti,\u2019 \u2018Everlasting Love\u2019 and \u2018Here to Stay.\u2019 Kobby also has songs like \u2018Chiochio,\u2019 \u2018Pii Por Pii,\u2019 \u2018Warning,\u2019 and \u2018Father for All.\u2019<\/p>\n On 24th December, 2017,\u00a0Wutah\u00a0will be performing at this year\u2019s Decemba 2 Rememba organised by Citi FM, at the Accra International Conference Centre.<\/p>\n Others artistes on the bill are Kuami Eugene, Kidi, Ebony, King Promise, Captain Planet, MzVee, Magnom, Adina, Fancy Gadam, Adomaa, and many others.<\/p>\n Tickets are available at Baatsona Total, Maxmart at the A&C Mall, Silverbird Cinemas and at the Citi FM front desk for GHc 90 regular, GHc 150 VIP.<\/p>\n \u2013<\/p>\n By: Kwame Dadzie\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Music duo\u00a0Wutah\u00a0has revealed that they took inspiration from veteran Nzema highlife artiste, Safohene Gyeni\u2019s \u2018Nea Ye Boe\u2019 song.
