Entertainment pundit Arnold Asamoah Baidoo is calling on President Akufo-Addo to do more than just pay tribute to legendary musicians when they pass away.

According to him, although tributes are well appreciated, the legacies of these individuals who have passed and others who are alive need to be protected and preserved.

In a post on Facebook, he explained that these music legends contributed more than half of their lifetime to the craft which inadvertently helped build the music industry.

“Where is that edifice, that exhibition centre, that museum that houses, extols and celebrates their works? How are their memories being solidified? They need more! We need more than words!”

Mr Asamoah-Baidoo's comment comes after President Akufo-Addo eulogised Ghanaian Highlife legend, Nana Ampadu for the indelible mark his music has made on successive generations of Ghanaians.

According to the President, the fallen hero believed in his transformation agenda and campaigned for his election in the 2016 presidential election.

“The outpouring of grief by many Ghanaians, following the news of his death, is an appreciation of the impact his music had on successive generations of Ghanaians. His was a life well-lived, and he will be sorely missed. My deep condolences to his widow, children and family. Rest in perfect peace, Nana, and may the Almighty keep you in His Bosom until the Last Day of the Resurrection when we shall all meet again,” he wrote.

However, Mr Asamoah-Baidoo believes that the likes of Nana Ampadu, Paapa Yankson, Jewel Ackah, Mr. A.A. A, Mac Tontoh and a deluge of other fallen heroes need more.

“The likes of Pat Thomas, Ebo Taylor, Daddy Lumba and a plethora of others who have contributed more than half of their lifetime to the craft also need more,” he added.

The Highlife legend, Nana Kwame Ampadu reportedly passed on, on Tuesday, September 28.

The 76-year-old, according to sources, died at the Legon hospital after he fell sick overnight. He was rushed to the emergency ward on Tuesday morning and died shortly.

The composer, guitarist and singer who is a household name both in the country and abroad hails from Obo-Kwahu in the Eastern Region.

The inventive, clever, talented, imaginative, witty singer formed his African Brothers band in 1963. One of the founding members was Senior Eddie Donkor.

The musician is known for popular songs such as ‘Oman Bo Adwo’, ‘Mother’, ‘Obra’ and ‘Osaman Bi’, among others.
