Media Personality and host of 'The Standpoint Show, Oheneyere Gifty Anti surprised Naa Amanua Dodoo, the former lead singer of traditional folk percussion group, Wulomei, on Prime Morning Show, Monday.
On 'The Big Interview' segment, Oheneyere Anti, who could not hide her joy, walked onto the live show to present a parcel to the veteran singer and song writer for her immense contributions to folklore music in Ghana.
"My intuition told me to take along some fabrics whiles leaving the house and I obliged. It is for this reason I give you this token as an appreciation of your contribution to the growth and development of folklore music in Ghana," she explained.
She is from a family of musicians. The father was a guitarist and the mother, a prolific dancer and singer. She believes her interest and love for music were developed during her tender age living with her parents.
After five years with the Wulomei Band, Naa Amanua left the Group to join the Suku Troupe.
She also left the Suku Troupe, after a decade to form her own group in 1988 and released ‘Mi yen Maya‘ in 1989.
Madam Amanua says she is still active as a solo singer and performs at events and special occasions.
She was the recipient of the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Honours.
