GHANAIAN MUSIC OF ORIGIN- ARTISTES

Nana Kwame Ampadu 1 was born at Obo Kwahu in the eEastern Region of Ghana on March 31st, 1945. Ampadu developed keen interest in singing at school and had a very tantalizing and captivating voice to the admiration of his teachers who proudly choose him to give the school tunes whenever it was called for. This made the head teacher, one Master Quarcoe proud to robe him as a chorister and also appointed him as the only tune picker at all times. Young Ampadu moved to Accra and in 1964, met Jerry Hansen, leader and founder of the Ramblers Dance band. They they became good friends resulting in Ampadu composing eight songs for the Ramblers Band. All these songs became hit tracks; some of the songs are Ntoboase, Afutusem, Scholarship and Me Nsoromma Bepue.
