Black Sherif, a Ghanaian music sensation, has once again demonstrated that he is not only a star but also a music history scholar. The award-winning musician paid a visit to Highlife icon Amakye Dede at his residence on Monday, February 3, to thank him for the inspiration that has propelled his career.
The melodies of Amakye Dede, whom Black Sherif cited in one of his early songs, served as the basis for his artistic development while he was growing up in Asante Akyem. Black Sherif disclosed during the visit that Amakye Dede will be honoured with the title of his next album, Iron Boy.
This year marks Amakye Dede's 50th anniversary in the music industry, and he was ecstatic. "You and your management have my utmost admiration and respect for this wonderful award! Your visit and the affection you've shown me have genuinely humbled me.
There will always be high life, and it means the world to watch the next generation continue the tradition. I can't wait for this Iron Boy masterpiece to be heard by everyone. "My son, keep shining!" he posted on social media.
As part of his golden jubilee festivities, Amakye Dede made the thrilling promise to perform with Black Sherif in London and Ghana later this year.
The thrilling chemistry between these two icons from different eras is already being anticipated by fans.
