Ambolley Jabs Stonebwoy For Not Singing In Ewe Language

Veteran Highlife musician, Gyedu Blay Ambolley has bashed Dancehall act, Stonebowy for not singing in his local dialect, Ewe.

Ambolley, couldn’t fathom why the BHIM Nation boss up to now still doesn’t have even a single song in his mother tongue, Ewe.

“Stonebwoy is an Ewe boy, he has to use music from his tribe. Stonebwoy is singing more Jamaican Patoa than his own his own local language,” he said.

Meanwhile, Stonebwoy recently prided himself in singing in the Jamaican Patoa so well. He added that he is so good at the language that even Jamaicans are unable to decipher whether he is one of them or a Ghanaian.

But the legendary musician contends Ghanaians artistes must develop music from their own languages instead of copying from other countries.

He questioned why the ‘Tomorrow’ hitmaker is bent on promoting another person’s language at the expense of his own.

“It’s the Jamaican that came out with that, our brothers that were sent away to the other side of the world, they came with that patoa. It’s their identification. They took them away from Africa,” he noted.

Africa is the source so why is it that you have to leave the source and follow the branch?” Ambolley queried.

The veteran singer added that the current crop of musicians must learn to embrace their culture.
