Renowned Frafra kologo music sensation Guy One, affectionately known as Second Jesus, is poised to unleash a transformative musical experience with the launch of his highly anticipated album at Kumasi Asafo Market on Saturday, November 25, 2023.

Entitled “M’mi bala gee n kan enge mi,” translating to “I know that, but I won’t do it,” this masterpiece comprises ten meticulously curated tracks that promise to reverberate through the very heart of the Frafra music scene.

Hailing from Nyariga in the Bolgatanga Municipality, the award winning Guy One has not merely graced but dominated the Frafra kologo music landscape since the 1990s, consistently captivating and arousing the interest of kologo music fans not only in the Upper East Region but also transcending geographical boundaries. In 2018, Guy One enthralled thousands of fans during his European tour, garnering international acclaim and earning a feature in a Financial Times (FT) news piece spotlighting his distinctive genre and play style.

His compositions are a harmonious blend of sagacious advice, wit, and rich Frafra lore. Every stroke of Guy One’s kologo instrument draws a diverse audience, from the elderly to the youth, men and women, all converging to absorb the impact of his poignant and cleverly crafted lyrics. Guy One’s joviality is palpable, and his unparalleled mastery of the instrument transcends imagination, standing out prominently, especially when complemented by modern instruments that extend his music’s reach beyond Ghana’s shores.

The thematic core of his recent songs revolves around inspiring the youth to persevere through adversity, emphasizing the enduring presence of light at the end of the tunnel. In one poignant song, he serenades the transformative power of God, saying that God can change your situation from bad to good, so people should not give up.

Beyond his musical prowess, Guy One has been a pivotal figure in nurturing emerging kologo musicians, with stars such as Abagre Bola, Simon Atobooya, and Abayaa owing their success to his mentorship.

With an impressive discography boasting over twenty albums, including chart-toppers like “Kukuma kukuma,” where he critiques the youth’s fixation on physical attributes, Guy One imparts invaluable life lessons. His latest hits, including “Man kiribi,” “Yine ta’am tee fu me,” “Porsiga toi me,” and “Dogreba nye la yele,” further solidify his musical legacy and are readily accessible on all major online music platforms.
