Bisa Kdei
Award-winning singer, Bisa Kdei, has received a great deal of acclaim from renowned Ghanaian broadcaster Abeiku Santana, who also hosts Okay FM‘s ‘Ekwanso Dwoodwoo’ programme, for his significant influence on contemporary highlife performers.
Abeiku Santana emphasised Bisa Kdei’s influence in the highlife community while he was on his most recent music tour to promote his brand as well as his song ‘Boso’.
The song, which is presently becoming popular on the local airwaves, captures the genuine spirit of Ghanaian highlife music.
Abeiku Santana, in a recent interview on Okay FM‘s ‘Ekwanso Dwoodwoo’ programme, highlighted Bisa Kdei’s significant influence on the development of Ghana’s contemporary highlife music scene.

Abeiku Santana mentioned that Bisa Kdei’s influence on the highlife genre is a noteworthy accomplishment that shouldn’t be disregarded.
He claims that Bisa Kdei developed a novel and tasty take on highlife that appeals to the younger generation of musicians through his distinctive fusion of rhythms and lyrics.
“Bisa Kdei should be commended greatly for his contributions to Ghanaian highlife music,” Abeiku Santana said, adding, “He was able to establish a trend that many of today’s popular musicians, like King Promise and Kuami Eugene, have followed.”
“Unlike the era of Ofori Amponsah and others, Bisa Kdei brought a new vibe to highlife that has been embraced by the likes of Kofi Kinaata, King Paluta, etc,” he stressed.
Abeiku went on to say that Bisa Kdei’s ability to update highlife without sacrificing its core qualities has increased the genre’s appeal to both domestic and foreign listeners. This, in Abeiku Santana’s opinion, is evidence of Bisa Kdei’s artistic vision and talent.
