Veteran Highlife musician, Lucky Mensah has said Kuami Eugene is one of the reasons the highlife genre is still alive.
In his opinion, the likes of Kuami Eugene since bursting on the music scene have ensured that the highlife genre has maintained its relevance.
Speaking on Happy FM, Lucky Mensah said: “if not for Kuami Eugene and co, like Ghanaian highlife would have been dead in the system”.
His comments are in relation to the recent controversy surrounding the crowning of the ‘Wish me well’ hitmaker Highlife King by legendary highlife musician, Amakye Dede.
