Music duo Banka 2 Banka to release 'Ashawo Gentle'

Music duo Banka 2 Banka is back after a short break from music and readies to serve music lovers with a smash hit song titled ‘Ashawo Gentle.’

‘Ashawo Gentle’ has a strong message to hypocrites. The song says it is not only people who are seen parading as prostitutes that are prostitutes but also those that take little things to get little favours.

“Ashawo Gentle’ is a song that talks about people who pretend to be holier than thou but are back stabbers; the pastors, big men who take people’s wives and ladies who sleep with their bosses for favours.”

“If you are like these people, you are an ‘Ashawo Gentle’,” Banka 2 Banka quipped.

The dynamic music duo started as a group in 2000 but recorded their first song “Obadwenba” in 2001.

That notwithstanding, they were lucky to have met B Bryte, the producer that recorded Danso Abbeam’s ‘Ghanaian Lady,’ Ruff N Smooth’s ‘Swagger,’ and D Cryme’s ‘Kill Me Shy,’ who decided to produce their songs.

Later, they recorded “Dada Ba” with Ray and Cash 2.

Banka 2 Banka, made up of Dorllah (Henry Ellorm Andrews) and Konkah (Prince Eli Aklibosu) are now back for good and have come to stay.

The energetic duo says, they took some time off to do their homework for a strong come back.

“We went off the scene for a while. We needed to repackage our brand and songs to satisfy the taste of the music lovers. So we are finally here again. Ghanaians will love ‘Ashawo Gentle.’ We have a lot of good tunes crying for the music market,” they noted.

The song, produced by Dr. Ray, has good sound quality with impeccable programming.

Dollarh dazzles with oomph and punches in hard as his unique voice hits the beats. Konkah on the other hand displays his rapping prowess and he weaves beautiful lines to complement Dollarh’s.

‘Ashawo Gentle’, which features Luther of ‘Ekikimi’ fame, will be officially released on January 20.
