Sweet melodies and rhythms make us enjoy songs we don’t even understand the lyrics – Kinaata
According to the Fante songwriter and artist, Kofi Kinaata, the sweet melodies and the rhythms of songs makes people enjoy songs.
Speaking in an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM, Kofi Kinaata said if the lyrics of the songs are hard to understand due to the language barriers the melodies of the song help one to enjoy the music.
He added that one doesn’t have to understand the lyrics of music before one can enjoy it.
“I’m speaking Fante and even you sometimes you don’t get what I’m saying, what is a poem when you don’t understand the poem,” he said as Amansan Krakye.
He disclosed “I’m telling you a poem in let’s say Spanish, how will you appreciate that poem but if the poem contains some melodies that even if you don’t understand the language or lyrics you will enjoy the melodies and rhythms?
“I’m giving you Fante poem, instead of that let me do it through singing and infuse so some melodies, harmonies, tunes that even if you can’t sing the song or understand what I’m saying you will still feel it,” he narrated.
