Musician Berima Amo has shared his fondest memories about the late highlife legend Nana Kwame Ampadu.

In an interview on Day Break Hitz on Tuesday, the trumpet master blamed the entertainment industry for its failure to tap into the wisdom and knowledge of the late legend.

He stated that many musicians in the country have a culture that does not allow them to honour their older folks.

"He's done so much for Ghana music [but] we didn’t [tap into his knowledge much]. He taught me some things that nobody knows.

According to him, the veteran musician taught him a lot because he was eager and willing to learn, unlike those who think they are good enough and can figure it all out for themselves.

He said musicians should be humble enough to learn from everyone, especially the veterans.

Berima Amo disclosed that Nana Ampadu taught him six different types of highlife music.

The Highlife legend, who has over 800 songs to his credit, died on Tuesday, September 28.

Nana Ampadu, who was nicknamed ‘Adwontofo Nyinaa Hene’ was known for a number of qualities, including his captivating storytelling ability which punctuated his songs, stage performance and unique voice.

Throughout his career he mounted several stages, met and worked with different people.

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.

Nana Kwame Ampadu shot into prominence in 1967 with his ‘Ebi Te Yie’ (some are living well) track which many said was politically motivated.
