Kwan Pa has revealed that one of the most exciting moments in the band's musical career was winning the Traditional Artiste of the Year award at the then Ghana Music Awards.
According to the band, they were not expecting to win the award, and it came as a complete surprise to them
“We have had lots of exciting moments. The first will be when the band was mentioned as the Traditional Artiste of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards. We were not expecting it and that was our very first award, so it came as a shock.
We knew we had worked and people were jamming to the music we put out there but we didn't really know that people were watching and assessing to the extent of awarding as Traditional Artiste of the Year,” Asah Nkansah, the band leader revealed.
Kwan Pa believes in the assertion that Africa has a very rich music culture which is worth flaunting to the world.
Kwan Pa is known for performing a genre of African indigenous music called Palm Wine music which incorporates intricate but thrilling chords and various chord progressions on the Guitar and Seprewa (Indigenous harp-lute) all superimposed on different rhythms including Highlife and Adowa rhythms, etc, which are emphasised by additional percussions
